about

Here's a version of one of my favorite Robert Wyatt songs, Just As You Are, featuring the incredible Emily McWilliams on Voice and Piano.

lyrics

It's that look in your eyes
Telling me lies
So many promises broken
What can I do?
What should I do?
Try to love you just as you are

'Cause I'm never going to change a thing about you
Never ever going to change a thing
Try to love you just as you are

Should I leave, should I stay
Should I call it a day
There's so much to say that's unspoken
In your way you've been true
But all I can do
Try to love you just as you are

'Cause I'm never going to change a thing
No I'll never ever change a thing about you
Try to love you just as you are

It's that look in your eyes
I know you despise me
For not being stronger
What can I do?
What should I do?
I've always loved you just as you are

And I never tried to change a thing
Never tried to change a thing about you
Always loved you just as you are

Will you leave, will you stay?
There may come a day
When I'm weak and I'm stupid no longer
In my way I've been true
I've lived just for you
I'll always love you just as you are

I never tried to change a thing
Never tried to change a thing about you
Always loved you just as you are
