Lyrics

[Dr. Pomatter] 
I could find the whole meaning of life in those sad eyes 
They’ve seen things that you never quite say, but I hear 
Come out of hiding, I’m right here beside you 
And I’ll stay there as long as you let me

Because you matter to me 
Simple and plain and not much to ask from somebody 
You matter to me 
I promise you do, you, you matter too 
I promise you do, you’ll see 
You matter to me 

[Jenna] 
It’s addictive the minute you let yourself think 
The things that I say just might matter to someone 
All of this time I’ve been keeping my mind on the running away 
And for the first time I think I’d consider the stay 

Because you matter to me 
Simple and plain and not much to ask from somebody 
You matter to me 
I promise you do, you, you matter too 
I promise you do, you’ll see 
You matter to me 

Dear baby, I hope someday, somebody wants to hold you for twenty minutes straight 
They don’t pull away, they don’t look at your face and they don’t try to kiss you 
All they do is wrap you up in their arms and hold on tight without an ounce of selfishness to it 
I hope you become addicted, baby 
I hope you become addicted to saying things and having them matter to someone

[Both] 
You matter to me 
Simple and plain and not much to ask from somebody 
You matter to me 
I promise you do, you 
[Dr. Pomatter] 
Come out of hiding I’m right here beside you 
[Jenna] 
You matter too 
[Dr. Pomatter] 
As long as you have me 
[Jenna] 
I promise you do, you, you matter too 
[Dr. Pomatter] 
I do, I promise you do, you matter to me) 
[Jenna] 
I promise you do, you’ll see 
[Both] 
You matter to me
