Lyrics

Oh, her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they’re not shin in’.

Her hair, her hair falls per fect ly with out her try in’.

She’s so beau ti ful,

and I tell her ev ’ry (F)day.

Yeah.

I know, I know when I com pli ment her, she won’t be lieve me.

(Dm7)And it’s so, it’s so sad to think that she don’t see what I see.

But ev ’ry time she asks me, “Do I look o kay?” I (F)say:

When I see your face,

there’s not a thing that I would change, ’cause you’re a maz ing

just the way you (F)are.

And when you smile,

the whole world stops and stares for a while, ’cause, girl, you’re a maz ing

just the way you (F)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 sex y.

She’s so beau ti ful, and I tell her ev ’ry (F)day.

Oh, you know, you know, you know I’d nev er ask you to change.

If (Dm7)per fect’s what you’re search in’ for, then just stay the same.

So don’t e ven both er ask in’ if you look o kay.

You know I’ll (F)say:

When I see your face,

Yeah.
