Just the Way I Am lyrics

If perhaps I'd been a little distant

If I tried to play a little hard to get

Do you think you might have fallen in love?

If I'd been a trifle, inconsistent

If I hadn't let you light each cigarette

Do you think you might have fallen in love?

And if I'd wonder the way you like, him

Would I've been more appealing?

Had my chin been stronger

Had my kisses lasted longer

Would I've inspired that I adore her feeling

If I'd been little more, attractive

Had my power had not been so, overactive

Would you have not held that nose

Like some meek, sweet adolescent lad?

What a fool I was to ever believe

That someday you could love me

Just, the way, I am
