Bruno Mars – Just The Way You Are
Bruno Mars explained the album title to The Idolator: “I’m a big fan of doo-wop music, my album has a little bit of that influence, with the simplicity of it… you can listen to a thousand doo-wop songs, and it’s the same four chords. But it’s the message behind the song – it’s straight to the point and it’s beautiful. That’s what you call your girl, your ‘doo-wop.’ I call my girlfriend my ‘doo-wop’! On this album, I have records that women are going to relate to and men are going to relate to. So doo-wops are for the girls, and hooligans are for the guys.” Songfacts®.
Bruno Mars – Just the way you are Lyrics:
Oh, her eyes, her eyes, make the stars look like they’re not shining.
Her hair, her hair, falls perfectly without her trying.
She’s so beautiful, and I tell her every day.
Yeah, I know, I know, when I compliment her she won’t believe me.
And it’s so, it’s so sad to think that she don’t see what I see.
But every time she asks me, “Do I look okay?” I say.
When I see your face, there’s not a thing that I would change.
‘Cause you’re amazing just the way you are.
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for awhile.
‘Cause girl you’re amazing just the way you are, yeah.
Her lips, her lips, I could kiss them all day if she’d le.t me
Her laugh, her laugh, she hates but I think it’s so sexy.
She’s so beautiful, and I tell her every day.
Oh, you know, you know, you know I’d never ask you to change.
If perfect’s what you’re searching for then just stay the same.
So don’t even bother asking if you look okay, you know I’ll say.
When I see your face, there’s not a thing that I would change.
‘Cause you’re amazing just the way you are.
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for awhile.
‘Cause girl you’re amazing just the way you are.
The way you are.
The way you are.
Girl you’re amazing just the way you are.
When I see your face, there’s not a thing that I would change.
‘Cause you’re amazing just the way you are.
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for awhile.
‘Cause girl you’re amazing just the way you are, yeah.
