Billy Joel - Just the Way You Are

Just the Way You Are

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 wouldn't 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

Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care

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.

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 could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are.

    Like Rod Stewart musics and Paul M. and J.
    Just the Way you are is such an endearing song ... a beautiful, sweet endearing song ever written.

    ... am sorry but my Multiply is kinda' slow sending my comments w/out me finishing it. Or is it my internet connection that is clogged.

    Last night I had a sense that a good friend might be upset - thus it's what I placed on with the intention of just that.
    Yet I remember as a kid when he mayed his debute with this song and then of course there is "All you need is love".
    A good later morning to you there.

    I think you know that was my intention as last night we had differing thoughts yet
    I know you have that creative side and the utube was fitting very fitting for ya!
    Thus I did Summers. We are friends and this seemed appropriate. :)
    ( I do think with regards to others with respect ) So there ! I gotcha in a good way.

    One of my favorite 'older' songs. Love the lyrics. I've seen Billy Joel in concert before in Syracuse. Great show!

    As a kid, I didnt see him at the NY state fair. But he is tremendous. Some of his songs still
    surpass time.
