[Verse 1]
Don't go changin' to try and please me
You never let me down before
And don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore

[Chorus 1]
I would not leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far, oh-oh
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 tryin' some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair, oh-oh
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care

[Chorus 2]
I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard, oh
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
Oh, what will it take 'til you believe in me
The way that I believe in you?

[Chorus 3]
I said I love you, and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart, oh-oh
I couldn't love you any better
I love you just the way you are
