Just The Way You Are

I'm officially the office freak... and voice of reason. Mostly because I just argue just about anything. Hey, someone has to be a voice of dissent, or everyone will just find themselves in agreement and settling for less than best.

As the saying goes, "You all laugh at me because I'm different, I laugh at all of you because you're all the same!" In a world where we're all expected to be unique, to be special for some bizarre reason we're all measured with the same yardstick. For some this is hard, but I simply feel sorry for those that either do the measuring or those that feel the measure actually counts.

I think Billy Joel puts it a little more subtle, but, remember you're pretty Awesome, "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 colour of your hair,
You always have my, unspoken passion,
Although I might not seem to care.

I don't want clever, conversation,
I never want to work that hard,
I just want someone, that I can talk to,
I want you just the way you are.

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew,
What will it take till you believe in me,
The way that I believe in you?

I said I love you, and that's forever,
And this I promise from the heart,
I couldn't love you, any better,
I love you just the way you are.

I don't want clever, conversation,
I never want to work that hard,
I just want someone, that I can talk to,
I want you just the way you are.


Don't let the world change you, change the world!
