Lyrics No Matter What - Aretha Franklin

Drop it
It's funny how we've wasted our time
On so-called friends who are really not on our side
We've always got something to say
About us and how we are spending our day
They're trying to confuse us with their lies and deceit
But they don't really care if we live or die on these streets
But you and I, we both know the truth
Then 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 (you need to love me)
And just love me (whoa, love me)
And just love me (yeah, 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 (yeah, baby)
'Cause I love you (ooh, love you)
So just love me (yeah, 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
You 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 gon' make it as long as we stay patient
No matter what they do you, need to love me (yeah)
I ain't out there cheatin' on you, you need to trust me (baby, baby)
Wanna see you happy, never blue, you need to love me (baby, baby, baby)
And just love me (oh, love me)
And just love me (yeah, 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 (yeah, oh)
I ain't mad at you for being you you need to love me (yeah, baby)
'Cause I love you (ooh, love you)
So just love me (yeah, love me)
Why do we waste away our lives (why do we waste away our lives)
Playing simple games, telling silly lies? (playing simple games, telling)
How far will they go 'til they realize (telling lies?)
What goes around comes around
We got a love you can't break down, yeah
No matter what they do you need to love me
I ain't out there cheatin' on you, you need to trust me
Wanna see you happy, never blue you, need to love me (I ain't out there cheatin' on you, baby)
And just love me, and just love me (you need to love me)
No matter what your friends are telling you, you need to love me (you gotta love me)
'Cause from me you'll always hear the truth, you need to trust me (hey, straight up)
I ain't mad at you for being you, you need to love me (I ain't mad at you for being, yeah)
'Cause I love you
So just love me
No matter what they do, you need to love me (no matter what they do, you need to love me)
I ain't out there cheatin' on you, you need to trust me (I ain't out there cheatin' on you, baby)
Wanna see you happy, never blue, you need to love me (baby, baby, baby, yeah)
And just love me, and just love me (you know, you know)
No matter what your friends are telling you, you need to love me (no matter what your friends are telling you)
'Cause from me you'll always hear the truth, you need to trust me ('cause from me you'll always hear the truth)
I ain't mad at you for being you, you need to love me (I ain't mad at you for being you, baby)
'Cause I love you, so just love me
No matter what they do, you need to love me (oh, baby, baby, baby)
I ain't out there cheatin' on you, you need to trust me (come on, would I shit you, baby?)
Wanna see you happy, never blue, you need to love me (hey, hey, you know)
And just love me, and just love me (you know, hey)
