Don't change your ways
Krystol Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don′t change it
Don't change it
Like you just the way you are

Don′t change it
Don't change it
Like you just the way you are
Passing time was all I used to do
Until the day that I laid eyes on you
You know my life has changed
My heart's been rearranged (heart′s been rearranged!)
You told me that
Your love would always be the same
I want to reach you with my heart and with the mind
Knowing that your love I would find
Love give to me all the surreal
I know it′s more than just the feel

(Don't change it)
You don′t change it
(Don't change it)
Or rearrange it′
'Cause I (like you just the way you are)
(Don′t change it)
Don't change it
(Don't change it)
Don′t you, don′t you change it
(Like you just the way you are)

You know you're just a dash of music from the mind
With a rhythm I′m never gonna find
'Cause I′ve been up feeling that I'm broken from the heart
Well, my fault
It was gone afar
I thank the luckiest stars each and every day
Oh, love, that was certain way
The love you give to me, always so unreal
I know it′s more than just the feel

(Don't change it)
'Cause if you changed it
(Don′t change it)
It just wouldn′t be the same
(Like you just the way you are)
(Don't change it)
Don′t change it
(Don't change it)
Don′t you, don't you change it
′Cause I like you just the way you are

(Don't change it)
(Don't change it)
Don′t change it
No, no (Like you just the way you are)
Don′t change it (Don't change it)
Don′t be- (Don't change it)
It just wouldn′t be the same

Don't you know that we are here
And you′re fond to me
The world's not the same
Don't do this for me
Promise me that you never...

Don′t change your ways
′Cause I like you just the way you are
Ooh, yeah, yeah

(Don't change it)
No, no
(Don′t change it)
'Cause I (like you just the way you are)
(Don′t change it)
Don't change it
(Don′t change it)
You wanna say
I like you just this way

You know my life has changed
My heart's been rearranged
You told me that
Your love would always be the same
The love you give to me, always so unreal
I know it's more than just the feel

(Don′t change it)
′Cause if you changed it
(Don't change it)
It just wouldn′t be the same
(Like you just the way you are)
(Don't change it)
Don′t change it
(Don't change it)
Or rearrange it
′Cause I like you just the way you are

(Don't change it)
(Don't change it)
Or rearrange it
′Cause I (like you just the way you are)
(Don′t change it)
Don't change it




(Don′t change it)
Don't you, don′t you change it...
