Every time she asks me, "Do I like cocaine?"
Every time she asks me "Do I look okay?"
I can't love you, Eddie Vedder.
I couldn't love you any better.
At the time this song came out, Eddie Vedder was not known to the public eye at all...but a very young (teenage) Eddie could have been listening to this song and thinking that Billy was mentioning him.
I could-a love you any better.
I couldn't love you any better.
I said I love you, but thats for Wilma
I said I love, and thats forever
I said I loved you, sasspawilma
I said I loved you, that's forever
She asks me, do I love cocaine
She asks me, do I look OK
When I see your face
There's not a thing I would shake
'Cause you've got braces
But it's just the way you are
And when you smile
The world stops scared for a while
'Cause you've got braces
But it's the way you are.
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you're smart
And when you smile
But every time she asks me do I love cocaine?
But every time she asks me do I look okay?
Mike Tompkins', "Just the Way You Are"
But not till I punch my mom.
But not till I get the punch line wrong.
Girl, you're a raisin
Girl, you're amazing
Her eyes, her eyes,
Make the stars look like Van Nuys shining
Her eyes, her eyes,
Make the stars look like they're not shining
Her nips, her nips, I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her lips, her lips, I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
I couldn't love you, Eddie Vedder
I couldn't love you, any better
I love you just the gay you are
I love you just the way you are
I love you just the way you are, Wayne
I love you just the way you are, right
I said I love you, Sarsaparilla
I said I love you and that's forever
I said I love you, and that's for Wilma
I said I love you, and that's forever
In times I’ve traveled
In times of trouble
Jong jong jing jing, to try to please me
Don't go changing, to try and please me
Just the gay you are
Just the way you are
Make the stores look like they're not Cheyenne
Make the stars look like they're not shining
The same old summer that I knew
The same old someone that I knew
The seal face
I see your face
When I see your faith
When I see your face
When I see your taste
When I see your face
You're too vermillion
You're too familiar
You're two for million
You're too familiar
You're two for million
You're too familiar
You’re due for a million
You’re too familiar
You’re too vermillion
You’re too familiar
