Don't go changing to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore

I would not leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times 
I'll take the bad times
I'll take 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 couldn't love you any better
I love you just the way you are
      
---- Instrumental Interlude ----

I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are
