E7
Don't change
                                         (Stop)           
Cause you think I might like you to be different
I fell in love with you
(Bass: A, G#, A, Bb, B, C, C#, D)

Dm
I don't want you blond
Am
I don't want you not to swear, not to sweat
Bdim7
It's you I fell in love with
E7                                                    (Stop)
Your turn of phrase, your sensitivity, your irrational moves
Well maybe that could go
But everything else, I want you to be you

Am                           E7
I want you to dance whenever you feel it
Up by the bandstand
In the parking lot
Up on the table
(Stop)
Well, maybe the table can go
But I want you to be you
(Bass: A, G#, A, Bb, B, C, C#, D)

Dm                               Am
I love what you wear cause you wear it
That shawl
That clinging dress
Dm
The svelte black jacket
              E7 (Stop)
Those leopard capris
Well, maybe not the capris
But I want you to be you

Solo:  Am   E7   Am x2

(Bass:  A, B, C, C#, D)

Dm
I love what you eat 
Am
You want yogurt? you got yogurt!
Dm
Papaya? it's yours!

Chewing gum? chew away!
                      E7 (Stop)
I just want you to be you...

Spit out the gum, it doesn't work...
(Cha-cha-cha!)

Repeat:  Am  Am/G#  Am/G  Am/F# (in Salsa Rhythm) 

When you sleep, you're the most beautiful
In the moonlight, your soft skin glows
Your hair scroll on the pillow a vision
                         (stop chords) (Bass: Bend E) 
The murmuring breath, the slight snore
The slight snore...
I want you to be you
