Love is a cartwheel,
Love is a long evening,
Love is a handstand,
Love is bumpy landing.Love is a handshake,
Love is a Great Lake,
Love is the best thing,
Love is a heartache.Love is a garden,
Love is the rain coming in,
Love is long day,
Loving is insane.Love is divine,
Love is sublime,
Love is a long flight,
Love is a bumpy ride.Love is arms and legs,
Love is contagious,
Love is a half day,
Love is ridiculous.Love is kindness,
Love is stress,
Love is the best thing,
Love is a big mess.

You hate your forehead,
The way it wrinkles when you smile,
The lines around your mouth,
Fold when you're surprised.But I like you,
Just the way you are,
I like you,
Just the way you are.You hate your laugh,
Like everybody knows,
When it’s ringing round the room,
You're wriggling your toes.But I like you,
Just the way you are,
I like you,
Just the way you are.I could wait a hundred years and,
Never get enough,
I could wait a hundred years,
And still be calling you up,
Calling you up.Cos I like you,
Just the way you are,
I like you,
Just the way you are.

Only six years old, I already knew,
How my life would be, what I was gonna do,
Had it all worked out, I didn't see a reason why it wouldn't come about,
I dreamed, I hoped, believed,
And everything else in between,
There was nothing in this world stopping me.

Fast forward to my early teens,
I'd given up on the childhood dream,
Sick of trying to fit in at school,
Always being different and never being cool,
I dreamed, I hoped, believed,
And everything else in between,
That I could be six years old again.

When I was everything I wanted to be,
Nothing seemed to be out of reach,
Life was simple and time was on my side.

To the little girl who loved to twirl around the bedroom dancing,
Singing all the words into her hairbrush like the world was watching,
Never lose your spark,
Never lose your smile,
Keep shining bright just like a star,
You're perfect as you are.

Started working at the local store,
A good job, but wanted so much more,
Too big for a small town,
But not knowing how to break down all the doors,
I dreamed, I hoped, believed,
And everything else in between,
That things would change.

Didn't wanna meet mister right,
Didn't need another reason to end up tied,
Won't settle for settling down,
When there’s a whole wide world just waiting to be found,
I dreamed, I hoped, believed,
And everything else in between,
Needed to remember the time.

When I was everything I wanted to be,
Nothing seemed to be out of reach,
Life was simple and time was on my side.

To the little girl who loved to twirl around the bedroom dancing,
Singing all the words into her hairbrush like the world was watching,
Never lose your spark,
Never lose your smile,
Keep shining bright just like a star,
You're perfect as you are, You're perfect as you are.
