No Matter What (Fred Falke remix)

When I was a young boy I was scared of growing up
I didn't understand it but I was terrified of love
Felt like I had to choose but it was outta my control
I needed to be saved, I was going crazy on my own

Took me years to tell my mother, I expected the worst
I gathered all the courage in the world

She said, "I love you no matter what
I just want you to be happy and always be who you are"
She wrapped her arms around me
Said, "Don't try to be what you're not
'Cause I love you no matter what"
She wrapped her arms around me
Said, "Don't try to be what you're not"
'Cause she loves me no matter what

I got a little older wishing all my time away
And riding on the pavement, every sunny day was grey
I trusted in my friends then all my world came crashing down
I wish I never said a thing 'cause to them I'm a stranger now

When I ran home I saw my mother, it was written on my face
Felt like I had a heart of glass about to break

She said, "I love you no matter what
I just want you to be happy and always be who you are"
She wrapped her arms around me
Said, "Don't try to be what you're not
'Cause I love you no matter what"
She wrapped her arms around me
Said, "Don't try to be what you're not
'Cause I love you no matter what"
She loves me no matter
She wrapped her arms around me
Said, "Don't try to be what you're not
'Cause I love you no matter what", yeah!

Now I'm a man and I'm so much wiser
I walk the earth with my head held higher
I got the love that I need
But I was still missing one special piece
My father looked at me

He said, "I love you no matter what
I just want you to be happy and always be who you are"
He wrapped his arms around me
Said, "Don't try to be what you're not
'Cause I love you no matter what"
He loves me no matter what
They love me no matter what
They love me no matter what
They love me no matter what, yeah!

He wrapped his arms around me
Said, "Don't try to be what you're not
'Cause I love you no matter what"
She wrapped her arms around me
Said, "Don't try to be what you're not
'Cause I love you no matter what"
He loves me no matter what
They love me no matter what
They love me no matter what
They love me no matter what, yeah!
