Lyrics

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

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

She’s so beau ti ful and I tell her ev ’ry day.

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

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 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 are.
