Just The Way You Are by Billy Joel
Don't go changing, to try and please me,
You never let me down before,
Don't imagine, you're too familiar,
And I don't see you anymore.
I would not leave you, in times of trouble,
We never could have come this far,
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times,
I'll take you just the way you are.
Don't go trying, some new fashion,
Don't change the color of your hair,
You always have my, unspoken passion,
Although I might not seem to care.
I don't want clever, conversation,
I never want to work that hard,
I just want someone, that I can talk to,
I want you just the way you are.
I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew,
What will it take till you believe in me,
The way that I believe in you?
I said I love you, and that's forever,
And this I promise from the heart,
I couldn't love you, any better,
I love you just the way you are.
I don't want clever, conversation,
I never want to work that hard,
I just want someone, that I can talk to,
I want you just the way you are.
I {heart} Billy Joel. I have seen him twice in concert. He is my all time favorite artist, this song speaks to me.

I've only seen him on TV but I think he is great!
He is one fantastic artist! Great post.
First concert I ever saw with my first husband. It was the tour for THE STRANGER. We sat close to the front. He played the piano sitting on the seat backwards during part of one song. He was a FABULOUS showman.
I grew up in NY. We all loved him there!
I adore Billy Joel. I've seen him in concert twice, and he is amazing. I would love to see his concert with Elton John, can you imagine? I think the piano keys would burst into flames :) Kathy
I think he should be careful with his motorcycle.
I always loved this song. Good job.
Billy Joel was the first concert I ever attended in my life! He opened with "Angry Young Man" and it was amazing! I also saw him with Elton John, and two other times besides that. Always a fun show!
Both times I've seen him....he has been with Elton. Excellent shows! Glass houses was my very first LP I ever bought! He does need to stay off his motorcycle and off the juice too!
Oh, what memories you've brought up. I'm a teenager in love again. Billy Joel is wonderful.
Interesting J post :) !
I've never seen him in person, but love his work. He is fantastic!
I love that song, too, but I have never really read through the lyrics until today!
I bet he was amazing on concert!
Happy J Day!
A+
Good choice for the letter J.
I hope your husband will be home soon! This must be a very stressful time for you. Perhaps by now he's in a regular room? Hope so!
I heart him, too, and I heart this song -- it's so sweet.
I have never seen him in person, i do love that song, it's a fave!
I like Billy Joel too - what talent!
I see from a later post that you are hoome now - you must be so happy to be back.
I love this song.......
Bruce Springsteen will always be my one true love, but I do cheat occasionally with Billy...
