BELLE
Papa, do you think I`m...odd?
MAURICE
My daughter odd?
Where did you get an idea like that?
BELLE
I don`t know.
It`s just that, well, people talk.
MAURICE
They talk about me, too.
MAURICE
No, we`re not odd, its true
No fam`ly 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
BELLE
So I should just accept
I`m simply not like them
MAURICE
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
BELLE
No matter what they say
You make me proud I love the funny way
You stand out from the crowd
MAURICE
It`s my intention my invention
Shows the world out there one day
Just what we`ve got...
BELLE
No matter what
MAURICE
Now some may say all fathers just exaggerate
BELLE
That ev`ry daughter`s great?
MAURICE
You are!
BELLE
And ev`ry daughter tends to say her father`s tops
MAURICE
She pulls out all the stops
To praise him
BELLE
And quite rightly!
MAURICE
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
BELLE
And daughter too!
MAURICE
You`re never strange
BELLE
Don`t ever change
BOTH
You`ve all I`ve got
No matter what.
