Like a paper boat that sinks when it gets wet
Like biting an apple, my head confuses me
Like a weathervane that moves, that doesn't obey the wind
...I like you the way you are.
Like a scale that measures time1, the loneliness and silence,
Like a hole in the sky where dreams go through ,
Like that basket that is so hard to fill and empties in a moment
...I like you the way you are.
Like a wound in the heart that doesn't hurt me
Ooooh...I like you the way you are.
Like a window that lets the air flow when you close it
A child, a mother, a woman in my life.
Like a cloud loaded with water that moistens the dry earth
Like the blanket that covers me when winter comes
Like the candle that lights up and rescues me from darkness
...I like you the way you are.
Like that street that always takes me to that place I want to go
Like that bar on the highway where I stop to rest
Like that peninsula without a flag where I feel free
...I like you the way you are.
Like a wound in the heart that doesn't hurt me
Ooooh...I like you the way you are.
Like a window that lets the air flow when you close it
A child, a mother, a woman in my life.
(Repeat 2Xs)
Like a paper boat that sinks when it gets wet
Like biting an apple, my head confuses me
Like a weathervane that moves, that doesn't obey the wind
...I like you the way you are.
