Just the Way You Are
The London Theatre Orchestra & Cast 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 don't see what I see
But every time she asks 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
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are, yeah

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

Oh, you know, you know, you know
I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for
Then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking if you look okay
You know I'll say

When I see your face (when I see your face)
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing ('cause you're amazing)
Just the way you are
And when you smile (when you smile)
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl, you're amazing (you're amazing)
Just the way you are

The way you are
The way you are
Girl, you're amazing (you're amazing)
Just the way you are

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are (just the way you are)
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while




'Cause girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are (just the way you are) yeah
