|
[jazz tempo to start]
|
|
Don't go changin' just to try to please me
|
You never let me down before
|
And don't imagine you're too familiar
|
And I don't see you anymore
|
|
I would not leave you in times of trouble
|
We could have never come this far
|
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
|
I'll take you any way you are
|
|
I need to know that you will always be
|
The same old someone that I knew
|
What will it take until 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 my heart
|
I could not love you, love you any better
|
I love you just the way you are
|
|
[instrumental]
|
|
[slower with lush strings]
|
I don't want clever, 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
|
|
[instrumental to end]
