Just The Way You Are
The Texas Tenors Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah
Her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they′re not shinin'
Her hair, her hair falls perfectly without her trying
Cause She′s so beautiful and I tell her every day
Oh, 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
Cause She's so beautiful and I tell her every day
There′s not a thing that I would change 'cause you′re amazing
Just the way you are
And when I see your smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause 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 amazing
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
And if you ask me do you look okay, you know I'd 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 I see your smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause, you're amazing
Just the way you are
The way you are
The way you are
′Cause, you′re amazing
Just the way you are
The way you are
The way you are
'Cause, you′re amazing
'Cause, you′re amazing
Just the way you are
Oh Oh Oh
Just the way you are
