Born and raised in Honolulu,


Hawaii by a family of musicians,
Mars began making music at a
young age and performed in
various musical venues in his
hometown throughout his
childhood. He graduated from
high school and moved to Los
Angeles to pursue a musical
career. Mars produced songs for
other artists, co-founding the
production team The
Smeezingtons.
After an unsuccessful stint with
Motown Records, Mars signed with

Influences
His musical inspiration is Michael Jackson and many critics suggest
Mars as his worthy successor, and found many similarities in vocal
tone and versatility of musical genres.
Mars' time spent impersonating Elvis
Presley as a child had a major impact
on his musical evolution; he later
reflected: "I watch the best. I'm a big
fan of Elvis. I'm a big fan of 1950s
Elvis when he would go on stage and
scare people because he was a force
and girls would go nuts! You can say
the same thing for Prince or The In the songs of Mars I can see a
Police. It's just guys who know that wide variety of styles, genres and
people are here to see a show, so I influences, including pop, rock,
watch those guys and I love studying reggae, R & B, soul, and hip hop.
them because I'm a fan."
Just the way you are
Oh, her eyes, her eyes make the stars look Oh, you know, you know, you know I'd
like they're not shining never ask you to change
Her hair, her hair falls perfectly without her If perfect's what you're searching for, then
trying just stay the same
She's so beautiful So don't even bother asking if you look okay
And I tell her everyday. You know I'll say
Yeah, I know, I know when I compliment her, When I see your face
she won't believe me There's not a thing that I would change
And it's so, it's so sad to think that she doesn't 'Cause girl you're amazing
see what I see Just the way you are
But every time she ask me do I look okay? And when you smile
I say The whole world stops and stares for a
When I see your face while
There's not a thing that I would change 'Cause girl, you're amazing
'Cause you're amazing Just the way you are
Just the way you are The way you are
And when you smile The way you are
The whole world stops and stares for a while Girl, you're amazing
'Cause girl, you're amazing Just the way you are
Just the way you are When I see your face
Her lips, her lips, I could kiss them all day if There's not a thing that I would change
she'd let me 'Cause girl you're amazing
Her laugh her laugh, she hates but I think it's Just the way you are
so sexy And when you smile
She's so beautiful The whole world stops and stares for a
And I tell her everyday while
'Cause girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are.
Text meaning

It means that he (Bruno Mars or any guy really) loves


you (or likes) just the way you are so you don’t have to
change yourself for him.
In my opinion is the best song to be dedicated by a boy to
a girl that he love.
That song makes feel special and happy, Bruno Mars is
expressing his feeling towards a girl that he likes weather
she is pretty or smart or dumb he likes her just they way
she is and i think that’s something every girl wishes a
guy saw in them.
