I Love You Just the Way You Are
Jessie Hock Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore

I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are.

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.

I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are.

I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard




I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are.
