Some people sleep all alone every nightInstead of taking a lover to bedSome people find that it's easier to hateThan to wait anymore.
Don't go trying some new fashionDon't change the color of your hair. . . .I could not love you any betterI love you just the way you are.

Well, he robbed his way from Utah to OklahomaAnd the law just could not seem to track him downAnd it served his legend wellFor the folks, they'd love to tell'Bout when Billy the Kid came to town.
We all have a face that we hide away forever,And we take them out and show ourselves when everyone has gone.Some are satin, some are steel, some are silk and some are leather.They're the faces of the stranger and we love to try them on.
I definitely prefer being a lover than a fighter.
It's awful hard trying to make love long distance, but I really need stimulation.
I always wrote the music first, and the music gave me the mood and the lyrics were pretty much put in to give you a map, where that mood came from and where it's going. But my first love was really the music itself, and I guess I've gone back to that.
Maybe this won't last very long but you feel so right and I could be wrong. Maybe I've been hoping too hard. I've gone this far and it's more than I hope for.
I don't want clever conversation, I never want to work that hard, I just want someone I can talk to, I want you just the way you are.
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. . . . I could not love you any better I love you just the way you are
Well I never had a place that I could call my very own/That's all right, my love, 'cause you're my home.
You can walk away from your mistakes You can turn your back on what you do Just a little smile is all it takes And you can have your cake and eat it too. Loneliness will get to you somehow But ev'rybody loves you now.
Sweetness flows from your appearance and your beauty makes me fall more in love with you. Anytime I feel low, I think about the good times you have given me and everything seems good again.
