JUST THE WAY YOU ARE - BILLIE JOEL

@uddaeddy 23.02.24 Just The Way You Are by Billie Joel, one of my Fav musician. I sang it on the train of Argo Semeru from Yogyakarta station to Gambir station in Jakarta. What a nice day returning back home from my youngest daughter graduation at UGM, Yogyakarta. Do hope you enjoy it. Alhamdulillah, thank you. Ups in the train resto, I met our beloved young musician @Duta Sheilaon7 from #sheilaon7 band. Don't go changing to try and please me You never let me down before, mmm 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, mmm 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, mmm 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, mmm 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 Oh, but what will it take till you believe in me The way that I believe in you? I said I love you, that's forever And this I promise from the heart, mmm I couldn't love you any better I love you just the way you are, right I don't want clever conversation I never want to work that hard, mmm I just want someone that I can talk to I want you just the way you are Songwriters: Billy Joel #billyjoel #justthewayyouare #jazzonthetrain #ukuleleonthetrain #uddaeddyjazz #uddaeddyukulele #kurenahuddaeddy #fyp #fypviral #fypviralシ #indonesia #ukulele #visitindonesia #visitbukittinggi #bukittinggi ♬ original sound - Udda Eddy

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 could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are
