Just The Way You Are
Scott MacIntyre 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'll always have my unspoken passion
Though I might not seem to care
I don't want clever conversation
I never wanna 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 don't want clever conversation
I never wanna work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are

This was your best performance on American Idol season 8! My two favorite seasons of American Idol were season 2 and season 8. I liked the songs that were chosen to sing on those CD'S.

I was lucky to be in the city of Split, Croatia on 10-28-23 when Scott gave a free mini outdoor concert. This was one of the songs that he performed. He sounded so good. It was a real treat.
