Just the Way You Are
Bruno Mars · 2010
🎤 Sing along
Sing with the chorus
- Just the way you are
- And when you smile
- The whole world stops and stares for a while
- 'Cause girl, you're amazing
Echo the hook
- She's so beautiful
- And I tell her every day
- Yeah, I know, I know
- When I compliment her, she won't believe me
