Just The Way I Am
Bobby Troup
If perhaps I'd been a little distant
If I'd tried to play a little hard to get
Do you think you might have fallen in love?
If I'd been a trifle inconsistent
If I hadn't let you light each cigarette
Do you think you might have fallen in love?
And if I'd worn my hair
The way you like hair worn
Would I have been more appealing
Had my chin been stronger
Had my kisses lasted longer
Would I'd inspired that
"I adore her feeling"
If I'd been a little more attractive
Had my pounding heart not been so overactive
Would you have melted in my arms
Like some meek sweet adolescent lamb
What a fool I was to ever dream
That someday you could love me
Just the way I am
