🎤 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
