Dururu duruduruddu..
Dururu duruduruddu..
The way you walk
The way you understand me
The way you move
The way you just whisper me
The way you touch
The way you used to kiss me
I want to just
Just the way you are
Dururu duruduruddu..
Dururu duruduruddu..
We're still the same
Don't ever change
I want to just the way you are
Every day now
Say you stay
Don't go away
I love you just the way you are
The way you are
Dururu duruduruddu..
Dururu duruduruddu..
The way you talk
The way you movin' closer
The way you kiss
The way you did beside me
'Cause everytime
Everytime I think about you
I want you just
Just the way you are
Just the way you are




Just the way you are
Just the way you are
