The song is originally performed by Bruno Mars from his debut album Doo-Wops and Hooligans.
New Directions:
Uuuuhhhhh, ah-ah-aaahh
Ah-ah-aaahh-ah ah-ah-ah
Finn:
Oooh
Her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they’re not shining
Her hair, her hair falls perfectly without her trying
She’s so beautiful and I tell her everyday
Yeah I know, I know when I compliment her she won’t believe me
And it’s so, it’s so sad to think that she don’t see what I see
But every time she asks me “Do I look okay?” I say
Finn with New Directions:
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
Finn:
Yeaaah
Her lips, her lips I could kiss them all day if she let me
Her laugh, her laugh she hates but I think it’s so sexy
She’s so beautiful and I tell her everyday (New Directions: I tell her everyday)
Oh you know, you know, you know I’d never ask you to change
If perfects what you’re searching for then just stay the same
So don’t even bother asking if you look okay you know I’ll say
Finn (New Directions):
When I see your face (When I see your face)
There’s not a thing that I would change
‘Cause you’re amazing (You’re amazing)
Just the way you are
And when you smile (When you smile )
The whole world stops and stares for a while
‘Cause girl you’re amazing (You're amazing)
Just the way you are (Ahhh-ah-ah-ah)
The way you are... (Ah-ah-ah)
The way you are... (Ah-ah-ah)
Girl you’re amazing (You're amazing)
Just the way you are (Ahhh-ah-ah-ah)
When I see your face (Ah-ah-ah)
There’s not a thing that I would change (Ah-ah-ah)
‘Cause you’re amazing (Finn: You're amazing)
Just the way you are (Just the way you are)
And when you smile (Ah-ah-ah)
The whole world stops and stares for a while (Ah-ah-ah)
‘Cause girl you’re amazing (Finn: You're amazing)
Just the way you are (Just the way you are)
Yeaah.
