Lyrics Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin

No Matter What

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 days

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

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' 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

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 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' 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' 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

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 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

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 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
