Just The Way You Are
J Rice Ft. Jason Chen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make the stars look like they're not shinin'
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday
Yeah
When I compliment her she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so
Sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me "Do I look okay?"
I say
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
Yeah
Her lips, her lips
I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh
She hates but I think it's so damn sexy
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday
Oh you know, you know, you know
I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for
Then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking if you look okay
You know I'll say
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
The way you are
The way you are
Girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
In "Just the Way You Are," J Rice and Jason Chen sing about how they see their significant others as perfect the way they are, despite their insecurities. The "her eyes" and "her hair" that the singer admires are physical attributes, but they become important because the woman doesn't have to work hard to be stunning. He recognizes that his partner is beautiful throughout the entire song and admits to telling her every day. Despite his efforts to make her believe in her beauty, she doesn't see it, and it's "sad to think."
When his partner asks if she looks okay, he affirms her without needing to see her appearance. The singer encourages her to stay exactly how she is because she is "amazing." The woman could be looking to change herself to fit a social standard of perfection, but the singer advises her not to, telling her that he would never ask her to change. All that's important to him is "the way you are." During the chorus, J Rice and Jason Chen sing about how they can't think of anything they would alter, and the world would stop and stare when the woman smiled because of how beautiful it was.

Jason Chen is unexpectedly good! He seemed quiet and reserved at first, then he belted and instantly I developed a liking for his talent :) Great job by both singers!
