So Wie Du Bist

I am the way I am, thank God you never gave up
Because when you brought me home
Mom and Dad were shocked
I walked your dog
And gladly tried the tie thing
And yet they were of the opinion
I was just a guy who likes to lose his composure
The others asked you: Does he fit with you?
Can he even articulate himself?
To keep myself afloat
I chauffeured these people in the taxi
I tried many things - copied folders, sorted files
Even if it wasn't part of my duties
I even served coffee to my boss
Internship here, internship there - unfortunately I haven't
Enrolled until today and then studied math
So that I would appeal to you better, darling, I would have tried everything
She said to me
Let the others change and stay as you are!

Just the way you are, just the way you are!
Let the others change and stay as you are!
I like you as you are, I need you as you are
Let the others change and stay as you are!

You are the way you are, love, it's probably in your nature
Enough of the norms, almost everyone tries
To shape you, since birth
Business and money, fitness and fashion are just part of the torture
Stay as you are, because for me
Your appearance is pure enrichment
And if they remain stubborn, don't let them tell you anything, because your figure
Is more than perfect, and your hairstyle
Doesn't need any treatment, I just mean
I come from a different country
Does that fit together with your culture?
At first, no one was really thrilled
When they found out about both of us
Forget about the clock's hands, stay in your own lane instead!
You understood: I'll stay
That's why you let me go on tour with a clear conscience
I swear, side by side with you
I said to her
Let the others change and stay as you are!

Just the way you are, just the way you are!
Let the others change and stay as you are!
I like you as you are, I need you as you are
Let the others change and stay as you are!

The way you walk, every step raises dust, dust
I believe, with you I can build castles in the air, in the air
You know my mistakes and all the details
Even if I don't say anything, you know
I just want you to not forget
Let the others change and stay as you are!

Just the way you are, just the way you are!
Let the others change and stay as you are!
I like you as you are, I need you as you are
Let the others change and stay as you are!
