Billy Joel-Just The Way You Are
[mp3]http://mp3.cnool.net.cn/oumeigeshou/v54/0032/60.wma[/mp3]
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
Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care
I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are.
I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.
I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are.
Billy Joel 比利·乔
比利·乔1949年5月9日出生于纽约的希克斯维尔。4岁就开始接受钢琴训练，虽 然7 岁时父亲的弃家，使他和母亲二人陷于困境，但比利·乔从未放弃对音乐的浓厚兴趣。
1968年比利·乔就以一名自弹自唱的民谣歌手形象出现在歌坛上，多年不得志的日子并没有使比利·乔失掉音乐创作的信心，反而使他愈挫愈勇，坚守自己独树一帜的创作风格，终于在Bee Gees把迪斯科带向疯狂的时期，比利·乔竟以一张名为《The Stranger》的专辑异军突起， 并不受当时潮流的影响而获得了空前的成功，在当年格兰梅大奖中比利·乔以一首《Just The Way You Are》连获“最佳唱片”与“最佳歌曲”两项最高荣誉。紧接着格兰梅奖中比利·乔又以一张《52nd Streed》的优异表现获得了两个大奖，专辑打头阵推出的一首单曲《My Life》，告诉人们，不要怕别人对你的看法，应履行你自己的人生。
80年代初， 比利·乔推出摇滚专辑《Glass Honses》受到音乐学术界的好评，并使得他夺得了23届葛莱美“最佳摇滚男歌手”奖。随后他再接再厉推出了一张复古式的摇滚大作《An Lunoceent Man》，其中《UpTown Girl》、《The Longest Time》等5首单曲进入了单曲排行榜，歌迷为之疯狂。比利·乔可以说是五、六十年代摇滚乐所繁衍的后代，加之他坚持自己的风格而不随波逐流，并保持虚心的态度，所以在歌坛不断取胜。
