Yeah…you know…
Sometimes it's your first love that stays with you
The one that never really happened
So maybe it wasn't all that great
But it's the memory
And as the memory lingers, fantasy grows
You know…the way it's supposed to be
It's ok
Am I talking too much…

When I was just a kid my clothes were hand me downs
They used laughed at me when I came into town
And they called me rag doll, rag doll
Such a pretty face should be dressed in lace

I love you just the way you are
I love you just the way you are

I'd change my sad rags into glad rags if I could
His folks don't like me and they say that I'm no good
And they called me rag doll, rag doll
Though I love him so I can't let him know

I love you just the way you are
I love you just the way you are

So we go, or should I say grow through
The one and the only, into this and to that
I grew out of it, I am grown-up huh!
I did real well for myself
Got a house upon the hill, a big car
But I still have the dream, …huh!
I still have the dream about the one who said;
I love you just the way you are
I love you just the way you are
I love you just the way you are

I love you just the way you are

Hit the target, make a spark, make a light
I got what I want, I got it alright
And I guess it's a sign of life
When you wake up dreaming

He said;
I love you just the way you are
I love you just the way you are
