Beauty and the Beast soundtrack – No Matter What lyrics

(Spoken)
BELLE
Papa, do you think I'm...odd?

MAURICE
My daughter odd?
Where did you get an idea like that?

(Music starts)

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

MAURICE
They talk about me, too.

(Singing begins)

MAURICE
No, we’re not odd, it’s 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: crème de la crème

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

Shows what we’v’e got

BOTH
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're all I've got
No matter what.
