So wie du bist

Ich bin so, wie ich bin, Gott sei Dank hast du nie kapituliert

Denn als du mich mit nach Hause gebracht hast

Waren Mama und Papa schockiert

Ich hab dein' Hund Gassi geführt

Und gerne das mit der Krawatte probiert

Und dennoch waren sie der Meinung

Ich wär' nur ein Asi, der gern mal die Fassung verliert

Die anderen fragten dich: "Passt er zu dir?

Kann er sich überhaupt artikulieren? "

Um mich über Wasser zu halten, hab ich diese Leute im Taxi kutschiert

Ich hab vieles versucht - Mappen kopiert, Akten sortiert

Auch wenn es nicht zu meinen Aufgaben zählte, hab ich meinem Chef sogar Kaffee serviert

Praktikum da, Praktikum hier

Nur leider hab ich mich bis heut nicht immatrikuliert und dann Mathe studiert

Damit ich Dir besser gefalle, Schatz, hätte ich alles probiert

Sie sagte zu mir:

Lass die andern sich verändern und bleib so wie du bist

So wie du bist - so wie du bist

Lass die andern sich verändern und bleib so wie du bist

Ich mag dich so wie du bist - ich brauch dich so wie du bist

Ah, du bist so wie du bist

Die Liebe, sie liegt wohl in deiner Natur

Genug von den Normen, fast jeder

Versucht dich zu formen schon seit der Geburt

Business und Kohle, Fitness und Mode

Sind nur ein Teil der Tortur

Bleib wie du bist denn für mich

Ist deine Erscheinung Bereicherung pur

Und bleiben sie stur, lass dir nichts sagen

Denn deine Figur

Ist mehr als perfekt und deine Frisur

Braucht keinerlei Kur, ich meine ja nur

Ich komme aus nem anderen Land

Passt das zusammen mit deiner Kultur?

Am Anfang war keiner so wirklich begeistert

Als sie von uns beiden erfuhren

Vergiss mal den Zeiger der Uhr

Bleib lieber in deiner eigenen Spur

Du hast begriffen ich bleibe

Drum lässt du mich guten Gewissens alleine auf Tour

Ich leiste den Schwur, Seite an Seite mit dir

Ich meinte zu ihr

(x2) Lass die andern sich verändern und bleib so wie du bist

So wie du bist, so wie du bist

Lass die andern sich verändern und bleib so wie du bist

Ich mag dich so wie du bist

Ich brauch dich so wie du bist

Lass die andern sich verändern und bleib so wie du bist

(Bridge) So wie du gehst wirbelt jeder Schritt Staub auf (Staub auf)

Ich glaub mit dir kann ich Luftschlösser aufbauen (aufbauen)

Du kennst meine Fehler und alle Details

Auch wenn ich nichts sage, weißt du Bescheid

Ich will nur, dass du nicht vergisst

(x2) Lass die andern sich verändern und bleib so wie du bist

So wie du bist, so wie du bist

Lass die andern sich verändern und bleib so wie du bist

Ich mag dich so wie du bist

Ich brauch dich so wie du bist

Lass die andern sich verändern und bleib so wie du bist

I am the way that I am, thank god you never gave up on me

‘Cause when you decided to take me home

Your mother did not want to believe

I even walked your dog for you

And gave the tie a try even though it’s blue

But they still had the opinion that

I was just trash that liked to lose its temper and had no clue

The others asked, "Is he a good match for you?

Can he even articulate himself?"

To hold my head above water I chauffeured these

people around in a taxi

I tried out a lot - copying folders and sorting files

Even though it wasn't in my job description

I served my boss coffee and put on fake smiles

Internships there, internships here

unfortunately I still have not

enrolled in college to then study Math

In order for you to like me more,

Babe, I would have gone above and beyond

She said to me:

Let the others change and stay the way that you are.

The way you are, the way you are

Let the others change and stay the way that you are

I like you the way you are, need you the way you are

You’re the way that you are

I can see your loving nature shine through

Enough of the pretend, everyone

Has condescended you since you were two

Business and cash, fitness and

Fash-ion

Are a disguise for the truth

Stay the way that you are ‘cause

for me your presence feels like eternal youth

 And keep staying bold, don’t let them change you

Cause your appearance

Is more than perfect and your brilliance

Is resilient, in my

opinion

I come from a different country

Does that pair well with your family’s

Vision?

At the beginning nobody was happy

When they found out ‘bout our decision

Forget the ticking of the clock

Stay on your own path and walk

You understood I am loyal

That’s why you let me go alone on tour, you know you’re my rock

We’ll take the oath now, go hand in hand happily

And then I’ll tell her

Let the others change and stay the way that you are

The way that you are, the way that you are

Let the others change and stay the way that you are

I like you the way that you are, I need you the way that you are

Let the others change and stay the way that you are

(Bridge) The way you carry yourself makes the world stop (world stop)

I think if we’re together we’ll reach the top (the top)

You know all my flaws and ev’rything ‘bout me

Even when I didn’t tell you,

you knew

I just don’t want you to forget

Let the others change and stay the way that you are

The way that you are, the way that you are

Let the others change and stay the way that you are

I like you the way that you are, I need you the way that you are

Let the others change and stay the way that you are

I am the way that I am, thank god you never capitulated

Because when you took me home

Your Mom and Dad were shocked

I walked your dog

And was glad to give the tie thing a try

But they still had the opinion that

I was just anti-social that liked to lose its temper

The others asked, "Is he a good match for you?

Can he even articulate himself?"

To hold my head above water

I chauffeured these people around in a taxi

I tried out a lot - copying folders, sorting files

Even when it wasn't one of my tasks

I served my boss coffee

Internships there, internships here - but unfortunately I still haven't enrolled in university to study Math

In order for you to like me more

Baby, I would have tried everything

She said to me,

Let the others change and stay the way that you are.

The way that you are, the way that you are

Let the others change and stay the way that you are

I like you the way that you are, I need you the way that you are

Ah, you are the way you are

The love lies in your

nature

Enough of the norms, almost everyone

Tries to form you since

your birth

Business and money, fitness and style

Are only a part of the torture

Stay the way you are because for me your appearance is pure

enrichment

And stay stubborn, don’t let yourself be told anything

Because your figure

Is more than perfect and your hairstyle

Doesn’t need any treatment, I’m just saying

I come from a different country

Does that pair with your

culture?

At the beginning nobody was very excited

When they found out about us

Forget the pointer on the clock

Stay rather on your own path

You understood I’ll stay

That’s why you allow me with a good conscience alone on tour

I take the oath, side by side

with you

I said to her

Let the others change and stay the way that you are.

The way that you are, the way that you are

Let the others change and stay the way that you are

I like you the way that you are, I need you the way that you are

Let the others change and stay the way that you are

The way you walk every step swirls dust up (dust up)

I think with you I can build up air castles

You know my mistakes and all the details

Even when I say nothing you know

I just want that you don’t forget

Let the others change and stay the way that you are.

The way that you are, the way that you are

Let the others change and stay the way that you are

I like you the way that you are, I need you the way that you are

Let the others change and stay the way that you are
