i see the way he tries to break you down

and tries to keep you insecure bout your hair, bout your dress

and all that thing

i wanna take you away

cos what i see is so true and girl that defines you

if you got up and leave me, it don''t matter what he says

i think my heart knows you''re the babe

but it ain''t my place to say what you should do

and i can''t let you stop being you

cos i know you babe like he don''t know you babe

wish we were closer babe

cos i would never

see i''ll never try to change you into something you''re not

just like the man in your life who don''t know what he got

i like the way you are, the way you are

i like the way you are, the way you are,

if i ever saw you change then my whole world would stop

i wanna go back in time so i can change every clock

i like the way you are, the way you are

i like the way you are, the way you are

physical attraction meets my satisfaction

every bit i see about you pleases me

i want to say there''s no need to stay

don''t misunderstand me i know it ain''t easy

to let go of what you always really felt was meant to be

but girl listen to me

it ain''t my place to say what you should do

and i can''t stand how he keeps hurting you

he don''t love you babe like i love you babe

so lets get closer babe

cos i would never

see i''ll never try to change you into something you''re not

just like the man in your life who don''t know what he got

i like the way you are, the way you are

i like the way you are, the way you are,

if i ever saw you change then my whole world would stop

i wanna go back in time so i can change every clock

i like the way you are, the way you are

i like the way you are, the way you are

he don''t seem to give you the love that you need

and i know what you need is to love you the way you are

just break it girl, just just walk away

you need to realize that i could be your guy

and he don''t seem to know what he''s got in his hands

don''t appreciate you not the way that i know i can, i can

so take me and you''ll understand

see i''ll never try to change you into something you''re not

just like the man in your life who don''t know what he got

i like the way you are, the way you are

i like the way you are, the way you are,

if i ever saw you change then my whole world would stop

i wanna go back in time so i can change every clock

i like the way you are, the way you are

i like the way you are, the way you are

if i ever saw you change then my whole world would stop

i wanna go back in time so i can change every clock

i like the way you are, the way you are

i like the way you are, the way you are
