[Intro]

One, two, three, four

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Chorus]

And wherever we go

And whatever we do

And whatever we see

And whoever we be

It don't matter, it don't matter

I don't mind 'cause you don't matter

I don't mind 'cause I don't matter

(And don't shit matter) You'll see in the end

[Verse]

I've got a feeling that there's somethin' more

Something that holds us together

The strangest feeling but I can't be sure

Something that's old as forever

Love, love, love, love

[Chorus]

And wherever we go

And whatever we do

And whatever we see

And whoever we be

It don't matter, ahh, it don't matter

I don't mind 'cause you don't matter, ay

I don't mind 'cause I don't matter

(And don't shit matter) You'll see in the end, ahh!
