I’m just telling a woman she looks beautiful the way she is, and let’s be honest, what woman doesn’t wanna hear those lyrics?” Release dateīruno Mars – Philip Lawrence – Ari Levine – Khalil Walton – Khari Cain Label And to me ‘Just The Way You Are’ is one of those songs. You know, there’s no mind-boggling lyrics or twists in the story, they just come directly from the heart. I’m a big fan of songs like Joe Cocker’s ‘You Are So Beautiful’ and Eric Clapton’s ‘Wonderful Tonight’ songs that go straight to the point. I wasn’t thinking of anything deep or poetic. This straight to the point song simply tells a girl she’s beautiful! When Bruno Mars was asked how the song came about, he explained: “It took me months to come up with ‘Just the Way You Are’.
