[Verse 1]
Say, did I thank you for your kindness?
(It's just the way you are)
The sympathetic things you say and do
Made me love you from afar
Now I need to know you
And bring myself a little closer, yeah
Just to hold you in my arms
And put our love in motion, it makes me say

[Chorus]
Stay lady, stay baby, stay! (Just the way you are)
'Cause I would rather smile than cry (Would you run away with me?)
Stay lady, stay baby, stay! (Just the way you are)
Just the way you are with me (Just the way you are!)

[Verse 2]
You ask me 'bout the dress you're wearing
(I just love the way you are)
Now don't you change a single thing for me
'Cause to me girl you're the star
You supported me
With love, honour and devotion, yeah
Now you can believe in me
And share in love's emotions, and make me say
[Chorus]
Stay lady, stay baby, stay! (Just the way you are)
'Cause I would rather smile than cry (Would you run away with me?)
Stay lady, stay baby, stay! (Just the way you are)
Just the way you are with me (Just the way you are)
(Just the way you are)

[Bridge]
Stay, with me!
Stay lady, stay baby, stay! (Just the way you are)
Stay lady, stay baby, stay! (Just the way you are)
Just the way you are with me (Just the way you are)

[Chorus]
Stay lady, stay baby, stay! (Just the way you are)
Just the way you are
With love and devotion (Could you run away with me?)
Stay lady, stay baby, stay! (Just the way you are)
You supported me (Just the way you are with me)
Hey (Just the way you are)
With love and devotion (Just the way you are)
You supported me! (Just the way you are)
