funk, and disco songs such as his two biggest hits, "You're the First, the Last,
My Everything" and "Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Babe". Worldwide, White
had many gold and platinum albums and singles, with combined sales of
over 100 million, according to critics Ed Hogan and Wade Kergan. His
influences include southern soul artists like Isaac Hayes, Clarence Carter,
Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin plus Motown artists The Supremes, The Four
Tops and Marvin Gaye. Along with Isaac Hayes, White is considered by
Allmusic.com as the first singer who played disco music before the actual
period of the late 1970s.

Lyrics:
Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far,
no Lord
I took the good times, I'll take the bad
times
I'll take you just the way you are.
Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair,
Hey there
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care
I don't want clever conversation
Don't want to work that hard, no Lord
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are
I need to know that you will always be
the same old someone that I knew
What will it take'til you believe in me
The way that I believe in you
I said I love, that's forever
This I promise from my heart, oh Lord
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are
