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 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.
