Just the Way You Are (Remix) Lyrics
First rule, never let 'em change you
Rule two, do you to the fullest (To the fullest)
And never be ashamed to
You're just good at what they can't do
And they hate that, they wanna paint you
In they color, put you on another
But what they don't accept (Uh), and what they don't see (Yeah)
The best thing is what you already be
[Verse 2: Bruno Mars]
Oh, her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they're not shinin'
Her hair, her hair falls perfectly without her tryin'
She's so beautiful, uh
And I tell her every day
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
[Chorus: Bruno Mars]
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, uh
And I tell her every day
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 askin' if you look okay
You know I'll say
[Chorus: Bruno Mars]
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
[Verse 4: Lupe Fiasco]
Uh, yeah, the definition of real is
If you don't feel, then you don't feel it
Don't conceal it, don't be fair
You look great, don't need silicone to build it (Uh)
Or botox to kill it ou just killing off spirit (Uh)
And you the one that you gotta live with (Uh, uh)
So don't get caught up in appearance
And see the inner beauty
When you look off in the mirrors
The way you are
The way you are
Girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are
[Chorus: Bruno Mars]
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
About
A remix of Bruno Mars‘ debut single, it features two verses by Lupe Fiasco that add to the narrative that the girl doesn’t have to change herself for anyone.
The beat was actually intended for Fiasco, co-producer Needlz remarking in an interview that “it came from a hip-hop origin.”
In 2022, Fiasco stated:
“I was comfortable making pop records. The issue was who controlled those records and what the ownership and splits were. Atlantic would only promote my records if they owned a large portion of them or if I signed a 360 deal. I gave Bruno Mars Just The Way You Are.”
He continued:
“Atlantic will take a record and remake it entirely. Replacing nearly every instrument on a record to say they “produced” it. They tried it with Superstar. Craig Kallman attempted to “reproduce” the entire record & claim it. I left in a small bass roll in the third verse as proof.”
