Tim Rice - No Matter What lyrics

BELLE Papa, do you think I'm...odd? MAURICE My daughter odd? Where did you get an idea like that? BELLE I don't know. It's just that, well, people talk. MAURICE They talk about me, too. MAURICE No, we're not odd, its true No fam'ly ever saner Except one uncle who...well, maybe let that pa** In all you say or do You couldn't make it plainer You are your mother's daughter; therefore you are cla** 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.
