Lyrics

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.

The way you are,

the way you are.

’Cause girl, you’re a maz ing

just the way you are,

yeah.
