Je rolde zomaar in m’n leven
Het was anders dan voorheen
Ik kende jou al heel wat jaren
Je moest me echt niet, naar het scheen

Blijf zoals ik jou nu ken
Ik hou van jou zoals je bent
Gewoon zoals je bent

Blijf jezelf, verander niet
Gewoon jezelf zijn, alsjeblieft
Gewoon zoals je bent

In al die tijd heb jij veel meegemaakt
Ondanks alles bleef je trouw
Je bent m’n vriend, m’n hele leven
Wat zou ik zijn zonder jou?

Blijf zoals ik jou nu ken
Ik hou van jou zoals je bent
Gewoon zoals je bent

Blijf jezelf, verander niet
Gewoon jezelf zijn alsjeblieft
Gewoon zoals je bent

Je hebt zoveel om van te leren
Toe maar gauw, leer ‘t me, ik hou van jou
‘k Heb nog zoveel van je te leren
Toe maar gauw, leer ‘t me, ik hou van jou

Blijf zoals ik jou nu ken
Ik hou van jou zoals je bent
Gewoon zoals je bent

Blijf jezelf, verander niet
Gewoon jezelf zijn alsjeblieft
Gewoon zoals je bent

You just came rolling into my life
It was different from before
I knew you already quite some years
You really didn’t like me, apparently

Stay the way that I know you now
I love you the way you are
Simply the way you are

Stay yourself, don’t change
Simply be yourself, please
Simply the way you are

In all that time you’ve experienced a lot
In spite of everything, you remained faithful
You’re my friend, my whole life
What would I be without you?

Stay the way that I know you now
I love you the way you are
Simply the way you are

Stay yourself, don’t change
Simply be yourself, please
Simply the way you are

There’s so much to learn from you
Come on, teach me, I love you
There’s still so much I can learn from you
Come on, teach me, I love you

Stay the way that I know you now
I love you the way you are
Simply the way you are

Stay yourself, don’t change
Simply be yourself, please
Simply the way you are
