      I'll take you just the way you are


Don't go trying   some new fashion   
Don't change the colour of your hair
You always have my   unspoken passion
Althought I might not seem so care

I don't want clever  conversation  
I don't want to work that hard
I just want someone  that I can talk to
I'll want you just the way you are

 I need to know that you will always   be
Bbm6---------C7--------------F------(Eb)

 What will it take till you believe in me   
Bbm7----------Eb-----------C7-----
 The way that I believe in you


I said I love you an'  that's forever     
this I promise from the heart
I could not love you   any better
I'll love  you just the way you are        

I don't want clever   conversation  
I don't want to work that hard
I just want someone  that I can talk to
