I like
my eggs over easy
and my coffee black.
I like my steak rare and juicy
or my money bannock.
I like my tea poured directly
from the samovar.
But I like you just the way you are.
I like my juice when I wake
and oh I'm so upset.
I'm quite a fuss and budget
for my favorite
Cigarette and I go mad
when a picture's crooked on the wall,
but I like you
Anyway at all
Friends know about my
idiosyncrasies peculiar
Heritage they grin and bear
I'm telling you all this Confidentially
because
eventually you'll have to share
I like the seams in the stocking
to be smooth and straight
I like my meat and potatoes
on a separate plate
About a million and one things
in particular
But I like you just the way you are
I like my sheets and my covers
to be tucked in tight
I like your kid brother when he's out of sight
I like my champagne especially with caviar
But I like you just the way you are
I like to peek at the ending
when I start a book
I like a boy not afraid to
eat the things I cook
I like a gal who's punctual
when I come to call
But I like you anyway at all
Friends know about my idio
syncrasies peculiar
Arities are grand and barren
I'm telling you all this con
fidentially because
Eventually we'll have to share them
I like your name and it best to
call and side with mine
And I am quick to confess
that I would like it fine
About a million and one things
I'm particular
But I like you
Just the way you are
