Just the Way You Are
Scary Pockets feat. Theo Katzman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Don't go trying some new fashion
Don′t change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care
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.
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 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.
Just the way you are...
The lyrics to "Just the Way You Are" by Scary Pockets feat. Theo Katzman express a deep and unwavering love for someone just the way they are.

@WaitingAtAStoplight
Scary Pockets you guys killed it as usual, but the featured vocalist really stole the track on this one. Great work Theo.
@ScaryPockets
+WaitingAtAStoplight we will not disagree!
@legolwa
The worn out t-shirt really made its mark.

I love how he pulled back at 2:00 mark. He was gonna say something and then refrained from stepping on that bass players feet as he introduced his own solo.
Pretty groovy to see attentive players in bands. It's about the collective sound.
All these musicians are slaying it in their own regards. Awesome stuff as always sir.
@LevNavarre
That's a great observation.
@isaiahhiggins
Lol or maybe he just forgot he wasn't supposed to sing 😂
@bobby1113
