"The Way I Am" Lyrics:
If you were falling, then I would catch you
You need a light, I'd find a match
'Cause I love the way you say good morning
And you take me the way I am
If you are chilly, here take my sweater
Your head is aching, I'll make it better
'Cause I love the way you call me, baby
And you take me the way I am
I'd buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair
Sew on patches to all you tear
'Cause I love you more than I could ever promise
And you take me the way I am
You take me the way I am, you take me the way I am.

To be loved, accepted, understood, and be able to reciprocate equally must be the greatest feeling in the world

[@deairascott9451]

2024 listeners??? This song just popped up in my head as I'm thinking about my relationship. I think I should send this song to him.

[@elizabethbrite7921]

Me too ❤

[@yessiare5883]

This song is locked into my head like a core memory

[@AvocadoOnion]

I just found out she married this clown. Too cute. :)

[@Paula-gn7eq]

I found it watching Gordeeva and Grinkov skate. What a perfect video!

[@BarrioJasmineDeeplyRooted]

How sweet of you to send him this song. It's great especially the rogain part. Best to you and yours

[@mickiamajor8110]

2007- I love this song ❤ 2024- I still love this song ❤️ "I love the way you say good morning." ❤ "I love the way you call me baby." ❤

[@stepherssays]

Wow, I forgot how good this song was. It just made me cry. It's so beautiful and sweet.

[@Garima2837]

Same!!

[@demarriustolbert4288]

Me too😊

[@badguitar5653]

@@demarriustolbert4288 and me!

[@jennifergraham5801]

It's unreal honestly!!!❤❤❤❤

[@hygienitechsanitizingplus8987]

Exactly! I didn't cry but these song deserves more than 2 half million views..

[@asmis8299]

Nostalgia brought me here, memories made me stay.

[@acidblacklove7657]

I dunno why this song popped up in my mind... haven't heard it in YEARS!!! But its 4am... and I recall it from a commercial.

[@dejavu3456]

Literally

[@dejavu3456]

Spot on

[@marioiacolucci]

In the Bose video demo this song was used you can watch the video of the Bose video wave Demo show on KZbin check it out Bose does not make the video wave tv anymore due to sales and was very expensive

[@jasminelukman]

And quality :)

[@TheCramxp2]

The only thing wrong with this song is that it's not longer 😭❤

[@ronnielane6903]

I almost cannot believe this is the first time I am watching this music video. I have loved this song for a long time.

[@PlumsweetPop]

This song is criminally underrated. It's still my favourite love song and music video.

[@elisamarie8167]

This gives me Myspace feels. This was my song on Myspace for YEARS! I love Ingrid so much!

[@overfoxed]

these 2010ish era music videos are such a vibe

[@naomireed1141]

I love the way she presents the clowns as 'the NORMS' in this music video and presents herself as 'the odd one out'. The message is clear and beautiful; basically saying that even though shes weird and not like the rest he still loves her no matter what. Its beautifully different and I love it.

[@trashpandaO6]

I like the way she represents that

[@JatPhenshllem]

What is ''normal'' is not dependent on much else from the majority of people or their aspirations.

[@T2Dah1202]

Yesssss! So beautiful

[@tonymanos363]

Such a loving, kind, devoted, truthful song. Food for the soul.

[@huntrrams]

Wish this song was longer :)

[@bethanyocheskey6126]

Same

[@Aivy2]

[@ShlokParmar]

Same...💓💓

[@alcapole800h20]

Yes

[@songbirdspirit5236]

Yes

[@hairyetdude]

this song came out when I was 12 years old. I know nothing about romantic relationships but this song made me cry for some reason.

[@johannarodriguez779]

Being a young girl I remember this song..now as adult and to have someone who truly makes you feel this way is so crazy

[@chanicest.hilaire7679]

Happy for you ❤

[@twinklybubblybits]

We should all be so fortunate🤙🏽💞you’re Beautiful💋

[@athena581]

I wish her unique voice would have gotten more popular. She's a Gem.

[@Leanners]

This is one of my favorite songs in my life.

[@kayboy6055]

2006/2007 were such pivotal times for me musically. before that i'd only ever listened to jingles and showtunes. this was my first music video I ever paid attention to on television. It was just so captivating, the sad somber visuals with such comforting lyrics.

[@MissLJanae]

I guess it's weird that I cry when I watch this video lol, but it's cool you know, to find someone who actually accepts you for who you are and doesn't try to change you.

[@DeviIInADress]

Brings me back to 2007, shopping in Kohl's with my mama while this song plays 💓

[@mayanovak2497]

😭😭😭

[@raleemay]

Yesss. Reminds me of a better time. Reminds me of Kohl’s also.

[@evilboxevil]

Lol. Literally heard this song at a CVS and searched online to find it because it was awesome. 😂

[@__mastershifureads__]

I can't believe this was 11 years ago...

[@kingtimothythefirst334]

Still relevant😏

[@tzeitelmccormick8297]

14 years ago now

[@She.33]

Imagine 15!

[@SergeantA]

I sang this song to my girlfriend at the time in front of her whole family. Been married for 5 years coming up on our 6 year anniversary

[@MLFranklin]

This just popped up on the radio a couple of days ago (maybe Sep 11, 2024). I'd totally forgotten about this very pleasant song.

[@jessycastaggs58]

this song is so getting played at my wedding!😍

[@kevinharris1462]

Lol hopefully you married and this song played. Lol

[@yogawithchristi5925]

I actually did my first dance with my husband to this song.

[@katiescarboro248]

putting that on a list even tho im nowhere near getting married lol

[@mariomedina8911]

I HAVE BEEN NONE STOP THINKING OF THIS SONG MY DAD SHOWED ME & IM JUST SO GLAD I FINALLY FOUND IT AFTER 2 MONTHS OF THINKING OF IT!!

[@jonvincent5158]

This song reminds me of when everyone didn't hate everyone and the world didn't suck.

[@andrewfellenbaum3954]

Lol

[@destroysilence]

Yes

[@drog9235]

Probably still terrible, but you were younger, so you felt like the world was good back then

[@intensestare5027]

that time never existed, you were just young and protected

[@aliceermentrout5529]

I’m often very hesitant to discover new music, but I heard this song on the radio one morning and looked it up as soon as I got home that afternoon. I fell in love with Ingrid Michaelson’s other songs and still am today.

[@dog8668]

Comfy and nostalgic

[@ebonies7472]

I've always appreciated the beauty of this song.

[@AbduRahimKamil]

watching this in 2020, don't know why I suddenly can't get this song out of my mind.

[@ms.thomaschloe5247]

Me tooo😪😪😪😪😪

[@iamtkdior1457]

Still playing in 2022. First time I heard this song I was in middle school… this has been 1 of my favorite songs ever since … && I’m almost 30 😂😂❤️❤️❤️

[@embersofficial9567]

kinda loving the fact that's her actual husband :) beautiful.

[@annlundy8641]

Sarah Eby i

[@dadoody]

Divorced

[@adamwright9996]

My favorite part is the solo. So short. So sweet.

[@venom6827]

This song is 1000 percent timeless!

[@laketiahollingsworth987]

Man I love this song. This song has been in my head since it came out yrs ago. Thank you GOD I know her name now! GOd is good!

[@Chet1333]

I love this song, really great lyrics. My wife of over 30+ years in marriage gave me a music B-Day card with a clip of this song in the card. The song has a fantastic early 50's night club ensemble sound to it; plus I love the upright bass--a real mellow low end. So, I just had to listen to the whole thing. But most important are the lyrics. Thank you Ingrid Michaelson, for a beautiful song; your lyrics are the stuff of what makes a marriage or relationship last, like mine and my wife's.

[@Nobody9627-e6x]

For real MC music choice. I forgot about this song until today

[@angeldejesus3182]

aww, i remember hearing this at the mall at night 🥺

[@kadams9148]

Forgot how much I like this song. Never fails to please me. Quirky and cool.

[@RulzzSpears]

This is by far one of the most beautiful songs I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. I simply can't get enough of it :3

[@maricelacruz7322]

my mom used to sing this to me when I was little

[@masterturtle-duck]

Maricela Cruz that is so wholesome

[@dadoody]

RIP

[@nishamarley1416]

I used to sing this to my baby when I was pregnant. It was on an Old Navy commercial. I fell in love with the song just from that.

[@Esukri]

My coulrophobia is weakened a little by watching the awesomeness that is Ingrid Michaelson. Too sweet to not like :)

[@LadyLakeMusic]

This takes me back to a happier time ❤ we’d all sing this commercial.

[@cash6130]

This song reminds me so much of her. 3 years gone. She left me for someone else and i cant get her out of my head No matter what I do.

[@SarangSerigala]

So glad I had the chance to sang this song in a karaoke (first and last time) with someone I dearly loved. I hope you're happy up there, my Silly Wabbit, Eric Jansen. Loving you always.

[@Shademastermcc]

Her voice, lyrics and melodies are all good. We need more Ingrids on the radio, less Iggys.

[@blxss.blxssxm]

Michael Cappelli THANK YOUUUUU

[@davetinoco]

Less WAP

[@lulilagartos959]

less CRAP

[@chanicest.hilaire7679]

Lmfaoooo

[@CalAri21]

Lmfao damn this is such a dated comment

[@resilience679]

this song was so simple and beautiful!!! all anyone really wants is someone to love them through their imperfections and weirdness and make them feel normal

[@hundragant]

For no reason at all, this song has been stuck in my head for the past 3 days. I had to give it a listen to

[@DevinaSwantara]

If you were falling, then I would catch you. You need a light, I'd find a match. Cause I love the way you say good morning. And you take me the way I am. If you are chilly, here take my sweater. Your head is aching, I'll make it better. Cause I love the way you call me baby. And you take me the way I am. I'd buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair. Sew on patches to all you tear. Cause I love you more than I could ever promise. And you take me the way I am. You take me the way I am. You take me the way I am

[@brendansmithtardy]

When my parents got married, they made a special dance for the mother and son. They played this song and we did the Paso Doble to it (which was weird and quirky but that was our first dance ever). Sorry, just had to share how magical and special this song is to me. :)

[@abrant73]

This song brings back sooo many awesome memories. I actually forgot about it until i happened upon it. Still love it to this day.

[@BrianMcAvoy13]

I forgot about this song, but had an inkling that she had an early hit.. surely it's this!

[@danielbeddingfield1452]

Just heard this on radio first time today almost made me cry . After my wife left me all I want is someone to take me as I am

[@bamoonflan5929]

This Song Always Brought Me Peace and Happiness!

[@jbach1738]

Such a simple little song, that says so much. Simply beautiful.

[@jenniferlopez3932]

[@moss1788]

[@thedonutman92]

The male clown in the video is her husband, Greg Laswell. They got married in 2011, two years after they made this video.

[@robertr.funderburkejr.9674]

***** The very same year as the Larry Craig's bathroom sex scandal when Larry Craig quote "i am not Gay."

[@Qwerty123zzuy]

Now they're divorced

[@iamjorellr]
