Oh, her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they're not shinin'
Her hair, her hair falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful and I tell her everyday
Yeah, I know, I know when I compliment her she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me "Do I look okay? "
I say

When I see your face 
There's not a thing that I would change 'cause you're amazing 
Just the way you are 
And when you smile 
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl you're amazing 
Just the way you are 
Yeah

Her lips, her lips, I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh she hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful, and I tell her everyday

Oh you know, you know, you know I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking if you look okay, you know I'll say

When I see your face 
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing 
Just the way you are 
And when you smile 
The whole world stops and stares for a while 
'Cause girl you're amazing 
Just the way you are 

The way you are
The way you are
Girl you're amazing 
Just the way you are 

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing 
Just the way you are 
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

Yeah
