The Way You Are

so I was wrong
it wasn't love
at first sight
tonight
so I'll sleep on the couch
if you turn out the light

I can't change you
I just love the way you are
The way you are

so I was wrong
to drive you home
you were drunk
and all alone
I said I love you
you said OK
but that was last night
now it's today

I can't change you
I just love the way you are
The way you are

I can't change you
I just love the way you are
The way you are

We'll buy you new skin
We'll buy you clothes
get you glass shoes
break your toes
We'll put new fists in
on bust-up wings
squeeze you in
and let you sing

on golden fingers
some knuckle dust
you'll never break
you'll never rust
you'll always be this pretty thing
that spins around
and sings

I can't change you
I just love the way you are
The way you are
