A letra:

No matter what you are
I will always be with you
Doesn't matter what you do, girl
Ooh girl, with you

No matter what you do
I will always be around
Won't you tell me what you found, girl
Ooh girl, want you

Knock down the old grey wall
Be a part of it all
Nothing to say
Nothing to see
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, want you

Knock down the old grey wall

Be a part of it all
Nothing to say
Nothing to see
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 what you are
I will always be with you
Doesn't matter what you do, girl
Ooh girl
With you
Ooh girl
You girl
Want you
Ooh girl
You girl
Want you
