This song makes me think. Sometimes, it makes me depressed because I know that I could say the words but my actions don't match. Other times, it makes me feel warm and fuzzy because it's a simple love song and I would love to have my hubby be that honest with me. It also makes me ask questions: Is this really true? Can you truly find someone that will take you "just the way you are"?
I think it's good to have songs that challenge you. If every song was like this, I would be exhausted, but every now and then, it's good to stop and think for a bit. The saxophone and electric keyboard might be a little overboard for some but the message is good. :-)
"Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are"
-Billy Joel
