No Matter What

Papa, do you think I'm odd?
My daughter odd, where did you get an idea like that?
I don't know, it's just that, well, people talk
They talk about me, too

No, we're not odd, it's true
No family 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
So I should just accept I'm simply not like them
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
No matter what they say
You make me proud
I love the funny way you stand out from the crowd
It's my intention, my invention shows the world out there one day
Just what we've got
No matter what

Now some may say all fathers just exaggerate
That every daughter's great
You are
And every daughter tends to say her father's tops
She pulls out all the stops
To praise him
And quite rightly
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
And daughter too
You're never strange
Don't ever change
You're all I've got
No matter what
