A letra:

You never wear a stitch of lace
And powder's never on your face
You're always wearing jeans except on Sunday
So please don't ever change
No don't you ever change
I kind of like you just the way you are


You don't know the latest dance
But when it's time to make romance
Your kisses let me know you're not a tomboy
So please don't ever change
No don't you ever change
Oh promise me you're always gonna be
As sweet as you are


I love you when you're happy
I love you when you're blue
I love you when you're mad at me
So how can i get tired of you?


Lots of other girls i've seen
know how to treat guys mean
But you would rather die than ever hurt me
So please don't ever change
No don't you ever change
Oh promise me you're always gonna be
As sweet as you are

Please don't ever change
Don't you ever change
Please don't ever change
Don't you ever change
Please don't ever change
