Aretha Franklin - No Matter What

Tekst piosenki:

It’s funny how we’ve wasted our time
On so-called friends who are really not on our side
They’ve always got something to say
About us and how we are spending our days
They’re trying to confuse us with their lies and deceit
And they don’t really care if we live or die on these streets
But you and I we both know the truth
That we will prevail as long as God sees us through

No matter what they do, you need to love me
I ain’t out there cheatin’ all on you, you need to trust me
Wanna see you happy, never blue, you need to love me
And just love me, and just love me
No matter what your friends are telling you, you need to love me
‘Cause from me you’ll always hear the truth, you need to trust me
I ain’t mad at you for being you, you need to love me
‘Cause I love you, so just love me

I wish that they would leave us alone
And let us be together
Boy, you can’t fall victim to those fools
Telling you whatever
They hear about me on the streets and it’ll only make you weak
And put a damper on our situation
They’re trying to tear down our foundation, sick and tired of hateration
But we gone make it as long as we stay patient

No matter what they do, you need to love me
I ain’t out there cheatin’ all on you, you need to trust me
Wanna see you happy, never blue, you need to love me
And just love me, and just love me
No matter what your friends are telling you, you need to love me
‘Cause from me you’ll always hear the truth, you need to trust me
I ain’t mad at you for being you, you need to love me
‘Cause I love you, so just love me

Why do we waste away our lives playing simple games, telling silly lies?
How far will they go till they realize what goes around comes around?
We got a love you can’t break down

No matter what they do, you need to love me
I ain’t out there cheatin’ all on you, you need to trust me
Wanna see you happy, never blue, you need to love me
And just love me, and just love me
No matter what your friends are telling you, you need to love me
‘Cause from me you’ll always hear the truth, you need to trust me
I ain’t mad at you for being you, you need to love me
‘Cause I love you, so just love me
