No Matter What lyrics

[BELLE, spoken]

Papa, do you think I'm...odd?

[MAURICE, spoken]

My daughter odd?

Where did you get an idea like that?

[BELLE, spoken]

I don't know

It's just that, well, people talk

[MAURICE, spoken]

They talk about me, too

(sung)

No, we're not odd, its true

No fam'ly could be 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 could 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 every daughter's great?

[MAURICE]

You are!

[BELLE]

And every daughter tends to say her father's tops

[MAURICE]

She pulls out all the stops

To praise him

[BOTH]

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’re all I've got

No matter what
