The Way You Are

(album: Ocean Drive - 1996)

You know there's always something
Really worth the wait
I wouldn't switch for nothing
There's nothing worth the change
People always try to take you for a ride
It ain't no big surprise
Ain't no cause to cry
You know that you'll get by
If you are strong in your own mind

You don't have to change the way you are
I really don't think you're giving yourself a chance
I wish you could hear someone who says: "Baby, don't change! Baby, don't change!"
Do your own thing, you're beautiful the way you are

In your search for something
You didn't have to chase
You sacrified the best things
And nearly lost your way
People always try to take you for a ride
Ain't no big surprise
Ain't no cause to cry
You know that you'll get by
If you're strong in your own mind

You don't have to change the way you are
I really don't think you're giving yourself a chance
I wish you could hear someone who says: "Baby, don't change! Baby, don't change!"
Do your own thing, you're beautiful the way you are

You really don't
You don't have to change
Give yourself a chance
