Just the Way You Are
I like you just the way you are

You're too tall, or too small
You're too much or not enough at all
You lash out, you shrink in
Oh, where to begin

You're too brown, you're too round
You're too loose
Or maybe too much going down
You're too square, you're not free
Oh, but who do you see

In the mirror, mirror
Image taker
Can't you see the Image Maker

No matter what they tell you
(You're gonna shine)
Shine like a morning star
(You're gonna shine)
Don't dare replace reflections
I like you just the way you are

No matter what they tell you
(You're gonna shine, shine)
Shine like a morning star
Don't dare replace reflections
I like you just the way you are
You're unveiled, you're unplanned
You're unloved by impassive hands
No words can quite say
What you feel this day

I wish you may
I wish you might
Know real love can make it right

No matter what they tell you
(You're gonna shine)
Shine like a morning star
(You're gonna shine)
Don't dare replace reflections
I like you just the way you are

No matter what they tell you
(You're gonna shine, shine)
Shine like a morning star
Don't dare replace reflections
I like you just the way you are

(Just the way)
Just the way you are
(Just the way)
Yeah, yeah
You know that I love you

I like you just the way you are
Whoa, whoa, whoa...

No matter what they tell you
(You're gonna shine)
Shine like a morning star
(You're gonna shine)
Don't dare replace reflections
I like you just the way you are

No matter what they tell you
(You're gonna shine, shine)
Shine like a morning star
(Oh, shine, shine)
Don't dare replace reflections
I like you just the way you, you are

(Just the way you are)
I gave you your reflection
I like you just the way you are

No matter what they tell you
Shine like a morning star
I gave you your reflection
I like you just the way you are...
