Lyrics

(CN.C.)No mat ter what you (A)are,

I will al ways be with (Bm)you.

Does n’t mat ter what you (D)do, (E)girl.

(D)Ooh, (E)girl, want (A)you.

(CN.C.)No mat ter where you (A)go,

I will al ways be a round.

Won’t you tell me what you (D)found, (E)girl?

(D)Ooh, (E)girl, want (A)you.

(F#m7)Knock down the old gray (B7)wall.

(E)Be a part of it all.

Noth ing to (D7)say, noth ing to (Bm)see,

noth ing to do.

(F#m7)If you would give me all,

as (E)I would give it to (A)you, noth ing would (D7)be, noth ing would (Bm)be,

noth ing would (G)be.

(CN.C.)No mat ter where you (A)go,

there will al ways be a place.

Can’t you see it in my (D)face, (E)girl?

(D)Ooh, (E)girl, want (A)you.

(A)you.

(D)Ooh, (E)girl,

(D)you, (E)girl, want (A)you.

(D)Ooh, (E)girl,

(D)you, (E)girl, want (A)you.
