[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Saxophone Solo] [Outro] 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
