Just the Way You Are
Jay-R Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We were cured in
A desire
Your words honey bourbon
Tainted saccharine
Love misfired
Saved me
Embraced me
I was ready to accept you
Cause we are a twofold flame
You think your words are gospel
Control me; make me treat you like my northern star
It's just the way you are
But I'm not your disciple
And in my head I
I'll leave you just the way you are
You were so despotic
And I liked it
So I'm partially to blame
But rein in your rhetoric
It's inaccurate
I won't take it to the grave
I was ready to accept you
Cause we are a twofold flame
You think your words are gospel
Control me; make me treat you like my northern star
It's just the way you are
But I'm not your disciple
And in my head I
I'll leave you just the way you are
Tornado affair it's been
I was sucked in
Now I love you from afar
You think your words are gospel
Control me; make me treat you like my northern star
It's just the way you are
But I'm not your disciple
And in my head I
I'll leave you just the way you are
The lyrics of Jay-R feat. Samantha Mumba's song "Just the Way You Are" tell a story of a complicated and intense relationship. The first paragraph sets the scene in a cabin, where the couple experiences a deep connection and desire for each other. However, there is a hint of something not quite right, as the honey bourbon and saccharine nature of their words suggest a tainted love that ultimately misfires.
Moving into the second paragraph, the lyrics reveal a power dynamic within the relationship. The singer suggests that the other person tries to control them, comparing themselves to a gospel figure and wanting to be treated like a guiding star. However, the singer firmly states that they refuse to be a follower or disciple, asserting their independence and individuality. They express their intention to leave the other person just the way they are, refusing to be manipulated.
In the third paragraph, the tone shifts to self-reflection and realization. The singer admits their partial blame for being attracted to the despotic behavior of the other person. However, they urge their partner to rein in their rhetoric, as it is inaccurate and causing harm. They emphasize that they won't carry the burden of their partner's words to their grave, implying that they are ready to let go of the toxic aspects of the relationship.
The final paragraph speaks to the aftermath of the turbulent relationship. The metaphor of a "tornado affair" suggests the chaotic and destructive nature of their connection. Despite still feeling love for the other person, the singer decides to maintain a distance and love them from afar. They reiterate their refusal to be controlled, suggesting that they will leave the other person just the way they are and preserve their own sense of self.
Overall, the lyrics convey a complex emotional journey and the realization that staying true to oneself is more important than succumbing to control and manipulation within a relationship.
Line by Line Meaning
Those nights in the cabin
The memorable evenings we spent together in the cabin
We were cured in
We found solace in each other
A desire
Intense longing and attraction
Your words honey bourbon
Sweet and intoxicating words
Tainted saccharine
However, their sweetness was tainted
Love misfired
Our love went astray
Saved me
Initially, you rescued me
Embraced me
We embraced each other's presence
Thought this was a haven 'til we torched it to the ground
We believed our relationship was a safe place, until we completely destroyed it
I was ready to accept you
I was prepared to fully embrace you
Cause we are a twofold flame
Because we had a powerful connection
You think your words are gospel
You perceive your words as absolute truth
Control me; make me treat you like my northern star
You seek to manipulate and steer me as if you were my guiding light
It's just the way you are
This is simply your nature and behavior
But I'm not your disciple
However, I am not your devoted follower
And in my head I
In my thoughts, I have decided
I'll leave you just the way you are
To leave you in your true form and character
You were so despotic
You were authoritative and controlling
And I liked it
And oddly, I found myself drawn to it
So I'm partially to blame
Therefore, I admit my share of responsibility
But rein in your rhetoric
However, you need to control your manipulative language
It's inaccurate
Because it is misleading and untrue
I won't take it to the grave
I refuse to carry this burden indefinitely
Tornado affair it's been
Our relationship has been tumultuous and chaotic
I was sucked in
I was deeply entangled and mesmerized
Now I love you from afar
But now, I have chosen to love you from a distance
