About You
Shane Filan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some days you wanna change it all.
I answer with a question mark,
I love you just the way you are.
I changed myself you ask me too,
But there's one thing that I could not do.
No I wouldn't change a thing... About you.
You know the way to change my mind.
You take my words and make them rhyme,
You turn the water into wine.
All of the things you put you through,
I wish you could see exactly what I do.
Cos I wouldn't change a thing... About you.
But some day you wake up
And feel like you need love,
You can't see your smile,
Your eyes not the way that I do.
Don't ever feel worthless,
Just know that your perfect,
And I'd change the world before
I change a thing about you.
Some days you don't feel beautiful,
Some days you wanna change it all.
You don't understand it's plain to see,
You're just the way you're meant to be.
I'd change the world and make it new,
But there's one thing that I would not do.
No I wouldn't change a thing... About you.
But some day you wake up
And feel like you need love,
You can't see your smile,
Your eyes not the way that I do.
Don't ever feel worthless,
Just know that you're perfect,
And I'd change the world before
I change a thing about you.
Na na na na na na na na na
Some days you don't feel beautiful,
Some days you wanna change it all.
Those are the things that caught my heart,
I love you just the way you are.
But some day you wake up
And feel like you need love,
You can't see your smile,
Your eyes not the way that I do.
Don't ever feel worthless,
Just know that you're perfect,
And I'd change the world before
I change a thing about you.
But some day you wake up
And feel like you need love,
You can't see your smile,
Your eyes not the way that I do.
Don't ever feel worthless,
Just know that you're perfect,
And I'd change the world before
I change a thing about you.

Whenever you feel like you require love
You can't see your smile,
You're unable to recognize your beautiful smile
Your eyes not the way that I do.
You don't perceive your eyes in the same way that I do
Don't ever feel worthless,
Never should you feel insignificant
Just know that you're perfect,
Please understand that you're flawless

I would rather alter the world than alter anything about you.
Those are the things that caught my heart,
Your imperfections are what endeared me to you
I love you just the way you are.
I adore you for who you are right now

The world is like life, so unfair! How come Shane Filan's songs/music ain't hitting the entire world? His music are all just fantastic and superb!
However, many singers with their songs out there are rocking and influencing people with their BAD IMAGES! What are shits? what the heck?
