I never take anything for granted
Only a fool maybe takes things for granted
Just because it's here today, it can be gone tomorrow
And i guess that's why
Why i "chewd" you so much because you
You haven't changed
Baby you're still the same
You're just as sweet, you're just as beautiful as ever
You know i'm a little old-fashioned
I guess you can call me a little traditional because i love things
To stay like they are between you and me
And that's one thing that you never in your life
Will ever have to worry about me
I'll ever change to oust you
Because, baby i love you
Girl, i love you
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 would not leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I've 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, hey there
You always have my unspoken passion
Although i might not seem to care
I don't want clever conversation
Don't want to work that hard
I just want some
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 thatÂ's forever
This i promise from my heart
I couldn't love you any better
I love you just the way you are
I don't want clever conversation
I don't want to work that hard
I just want some
Someone that i can talk to
I want you just the way you are
