Megan Vick for Billboard explained the meaning of the song: <br /> <br />The song is about Bruno professing “his love for a beautiful girl who occupies his dreams”. <br />Mars professes his love…“When you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while/ ‘Cause girl you’re amazing, just the way you are”. She concludes, “Mars’ lyrics aim to make female listeners feel nothing short of perfect in their own skin”. <br /> <br />Bruno commented on the track too during an interview with Blues And Soul Magazine <br /> <br />I’m a big fan of songs like Joe Cocker’s ‘You Are So Beautiful’ and Eric Clapton’s ‘Wonderful Tonight’ – songs that go straight to the point. You know, there’s no mind-boggling lyrics or twists in the story – they just come directly from the heart. And to me ‘Just The Way You Are’ is one of those songs. There’s nothing mind-blowing about it. I’m just telling a woman she looks beautiful the way she IS – and, let’s be honest, what woman doesn’t wanna hear those lyrics?!
