[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]
