No Matter What
Ham Pete Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I will always be with you
Doesn't matter what I do, girl
Ooh girl, I'm with you
No matter what you do
I will always be around
Won't you tell me what you found, girl?
Knock down the old, gray wall
Be a part of it all
Nothing to see, nothing to say
Nothing to do
If you would give me all
As I would give it to you
Nothing would be, nothing would be
Nothing would be
No matter where you go
There will always be a place
Can't you see it in my face, girl?
Ooh girl, I want you
Knock down the old, gray wall
Be a part of it all
Nothing to see, nothing to say
Nothing to do
If you would give me all
As I would give it to you
Nothing would be, nothing would be
Nothing would be

🎼 Badfinger 🎼
Two founding members
chose early checkout.
( Ham & Evans)
RIP
Now, we will never know what
these two talented musicians
could have created and composed.
They were just scratching the
talent surface.
There are horror stories related
to money and the mngt. or
the lack of such.
Ending this way,the opposition wins and is
exactly what they dreamed of.
“ I’ll show you, I will kill myself “
Nope, not me. I wouldn’t give
my adversary the satisfaction !!
Just the opposite.One way or
the other,no matter how long
the search would take, I would
be in their face until they paid
or died.
