Get up get up my beautiful friend you know we're in a hurry
Get ready, get prepared, they're waiting now
You've got everything you're supposed to, everything they gave you
They trust you every day, you have a responsibility now
Who else is gonna ride the bus, who else is gonna buy groceries
Who else is gonna stand in line for our new ATM
If you just stand still when they tell you what they want
Then you know that, then you know that, then you know that
They love you exactly as you are now
We mustn't change, not me and you
They love us exactly as we are now
We mustn't change, not me and you
Come home, come home my beautiful friend
This evening that they've given us
We can do so much with it, you and I
I'll show you everything I've bought, I have plenty of clothes
How do you think I should look? Look now!
But you've stopped seeing in color and in your mouth there's no taste
And the road ahead of you is way too straight
Even though you fall asleep in your chair when I put on my new skirt
Then you know that, then you know that, then you know that
They love you exactly as you are now
We mustn't change, not me and you
They love you exactly as you are now
We mustn't change, not me and you
And you'd never believe you've thought something that everyone hasn't thought
And you'd never believe you've felt something that everyone hasn't felt
And you'd never believe you know something that everyone doesn't know
And you'd never believe that you can
And they love you exactly as you are now
We mustn't change, not me and you
They love you exactly as you are now
We mustn't change, not me and you
And they love us exactly as we are now
Love us exactly as we are now
Love us exactly as we are now
And I love you exactly as you are now
