Doesn't matter what your friends are telling you
Doesn't matter what my family's saying too
It just matters that I'm in love with you
It only matters that you love me too
It doesn't matter if they won't accept you
I'm accepting of you and the things you do
Just as long as it's you
Nobody but you, baby, baby

My love for you, unconditional love too
Gotta get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
And show you that it

Doesn't really matter what the eye is seeing
'Cause I'm in love with the inner being
Oh, doesn't really matter what they believe
What matters to me is you're in love with me
Doesn't really matter what the eye is seeing
'Cause I'm in love with the inner being
Oh, doesn't really matter what they believe
What matters to me is you're nutty, nutty, nutty for me

(You're so kind)
Just what I asked for, you're so loving and kind
(And you're mine)
And I can't believe you're mine

Doesn't matter if you're feeling insecure
Doesn't matter if you're feeling so unsure
'Cause I'll take away the doubt within your heart
And show that my love will never hurt or harm
Doesn't matter what the pain we go through
Doesn't matter if the money's gone too
Just as long as I'm with you
Nobody but you, baby, baby

Your love for me, unconditional I see
Gotta get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
And show you that it

Edit

Doesn't really matter what the eye is seeing
'Cause I'm in love with the inner being
Oh, doesn't really matter what they believe
What matters to me is you're in love with me
Doesn't really matter what the eye is seeing
'Cause I'm in love with your inner being
Oh, doesn't really matter what they believe
What matters to me is you're nutty, nutty, nutty for me

(You're so kind)
Oh, just what I asked for, you're so loving and kind
(And you're mine)
And I can't believe you're mine

Rock mix
'Cause you know I'm gonna love you
'Cause my love will always

My love for you, unconditional love too
Gotta get up, get up, get up, get up, get up
And show you that my love is true and it's just for you

Nutty, nutty, nutty, my love for you
I can't believe my dreams come true
I've finally found somebody whose heart is true
And best of all is you love me too (nutty, nutty, nutty for me)

Oh-whoa, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-whoa (woo)
Oh-whoa, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-whoa

Nutty, nutty, nutty, my love for you
I can't believe my dreams come true
I've finally found somebody whose heart is true
And best of all is you love me too
Nutty, nutty, nutty, my love for you
I can't believe my dreams come true
I've finally found somebody whose heart is true
And best of all is you're nutty, nutty, nutty for me

    Specifically written for her part in Eddie Murphy's movie "The Nutty Professor 2: The Klumps", Janet Jackson's song comments on the nature of her love not being based on the appearance of someone, but on what type of person he really is. In this case Sherman's weight loss formula may make him externally attractive but it releases an inner being, Buddy, who does not care for anyone but himself. Healthy relationships cannot be based on what is on the outside: "Never judge a book by it's cover."

    i just started a relationship with my best guy friend but i can't help the feeling that he questions why i like him so much. he's even asked me to rate him on attractiveness. i keep telling him that i care more for his personality than his looks but he doesn't seem to get it. while i think physical attraction is key to a good relationship, i just wish it wasn't so important to him. but when i remember this song i think "finally, someone who sings about it's not what you look like but your heart." My love for him isn't based on appearance but it's so hard to get him to see that.

    It seems to be about a relationship in which everyone thinks that the girl is crazy for liking the guy, but she loves him so much that none of their opinions matter.
