Lyrics

Just The Way You Are

[Verse 1]

I'm in love because I know you

And I'm sorry I don't show you

And if I find that you ain't by me

Afraid no one know the things you see

[Pre-Chorus]

How could you believe in someone sorry-sad like me?

I know the deal and I thank you anyway

And if you leave, you know I'm crawling at your feet

You never get weak when I'm leaning hard on you

[Chorus]

But I guess that's just the way you are

And I guess it's just the way you are

Well, I guess it's just the way you are

And I guess it's just the way you are

[Verse 2]

And all the things that you don't show me

Like when you pretend that you don't know me

I waste a dime and I can't call you

I spend a lifetime if I fall for you

[Pre-Chorus]

How could you believe in someone sorry-sad like me?

I know the deal and I thank you anyway

And if you leave, you know I'm crawling at your feet

You never get weak when I'm leaning hard on you

[Chorus]

But I guess that's just the way you are

And I guess it's just the way you are

Well, I guess it's just the way you are

And I guess it's just the way you are

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]

Hold me up

Hold me up

Hold me up

Hold me up
