No Matter What Aretha Franklin (Ft. Mary J. Blige)

[Intro scatting]

[Verse 1: Aretha Franklin]
It's funny how
We've wasted our time
On so-called friends
Who are really not on our side
They'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 died on these streets
But you and I
We both know the truth
That we will prevail
As long as God sees us through

[Chorus: Mary J. Blige]
No matter what they do
You need to love me
I ain't out there cheating 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
