No Matter What Lyrics

BELLE:
I don't know. It's just that, well, people talk.

MAURICE:
They talk about me, too.

MAURICE:
No, I’m not odd, nor you
No family ever saner
Except one uncle who...well, maybe let that pass
In all you say or do
You couldn't make it plainer
You are your mother's daughter; therefore you are class

BELLE:
So I should just accept
I'm simply not like them

MAURICE:
They are the common herd
And you should take my word
You are unique: creme de la creme
No matter what you do
I'm on your side
And if my point of view
Is somewhat misty-eyed
There's nothing clearer in my life
Than what I wish and feel for you
And that's a lot...
No matter what

BELLE:
No matter what they say
You make me proud
I love the funny way
You stand out from the crowd

MAURICE:
It's my intention my invention
Shows the world out there one day
Just what we've got...

BELLE:
No matter what

MAURICE:
Now some may say all fathers just exaggerate

BELLE:
That ev'ry daughter's great?

MAURICE:
You are!

BELLE:
And ev'ry daughter tends to say her father's tops

MAURICE:
She pulls out all the stops
To praise him

BELLE:
And quite rightly!

MAURICE:
No matter what the pain
We've come this far
I pray that you remain
Exactly as you are
This really is a case of father knowing best

BELLE:
And daughter too!

MAURICE:
You're never strange

BELLE:
Don't ever change

BOTH:
You've all I've got
No matter what.
