JUST THE WAY YOU ARE
Michael Schulte Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday.

Yeah, I know, I know when I compliment her, she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so sad to think that she doesn't see what I see
But every time she ask 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, amazing
Just the way you are

And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl, you're amazing, amazing
Just the way you are

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 sexy
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause girl 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, amaizing
Just the way you are

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change




'Cause you're amazing, amazing
Just the way you are
