A/N: Something suggested by the ever-wise and perceptive pitbulllady. The brother piece to "So What, Who Cares?" from Wilt's POV. Took some time to write, but I was distracted by a million and a half other things. Even now, I'm being distracted by the TV… but I'll try to continue pumping out the relatively high-quality Wilt-Frankie fics you guys have been reading / tolerating. Damn, I didn't realize how long of a song this was! I seriously started running out of thoughts, and I didn't want to repeat myself, so hopefully this doesn't suck too badly. And as a side note, I think I finally have Wilt's voice mastered!

Nobody wanna see us together
Baby girl, there's so much opposition around Us. You think I ain't heard 'em talkin' 'bout us? They throw everything but the kitchen sink at us!
But it don't matter no
But I don't mind...
'Cause I got you babe
Nobody wanna see us together
Everyone doesn't want us to be Us,
But it don't matter no
'Cause I got you babe
'Cause we gonna fight
It's there, Frankie-- you know it and I know it-- and we can't deny it.
Oh yes we gonna fight
But we can fight it.
Believe we gonna fight
We're gonna fight
We gonna fight
Not for, as Bloo and that one song suggested, our right to party, but…
Fight for our right to love yeah
Nobody wanna see us together
They don't wanna see us be in love,
But it don't matter no
'Cause I got youI know what everyone's thinking' when they see us together-- disgust, jealousy, hate.
Nobody thought we'd last forever
They all see us and go, Oh, that poor, poor, young woman-- gettin' shanghaied into bein' with that stupid broken imaginary friend.
I feel 'em hopin' and prayin'
I can see in their eyes when they look at us--
Things between us don't get better
they want us to split up!
Men steady comin' after you
You get the smarmy ones like Dylan or the ones who really will hit you comin' on to you all the time, baby girl-- I see it.
Women steady comin' after me
And I know you see me trying to fend off all these women wantin' to get with me.
Seem like everybody wanna go for self
Doesn't anybody think about other people's feelings anymore? Or are we the only ones?
And don't wanna respect boundaries
Doesn't anyone see us together and know that we're off limits?
Tellin' you all those lies
People try to get into our heads, tell us tat the other one's not good enough for us…
Just to get on your side
But they're just right…
But I must admit there was a couple secrets
I held inside
I mean… I won't lie baby girl: there were a couple of times I was awful awful tempted. It ain't something I'm proud of, but it's there.
But just know that I tried
But I never did a thing, Frankie-- I swear!
To always apologize
I'd tell 'em, "I'm sorry, but I got a girlfriend."
And I'ma have you first always in my heart
I always tell them that.
To keep you satisfied
I'll always tell them that.Going into this relationship, I knew that it wasn't gonna be easy, but… I didn't know it was gonna be this hard.
But it don't matter no
But you know me-- I like a challenge,
'Cause I got you babe
especially when that challenge involves unconditionally loving a certain redhead named Frankie Foster!
Nobody wanna see us together
I dunno about you, but not a day goes by when I catch some snide, mutterted remark about Us.
But it don't matter no
But I brush it off
'Cause I got you babe
'cause I know they're just jealous. Or misinformed. Maybe both.
'Cause we gonna fight
And we know that we love each other…
Oh yes we gonna fight
And that what we're doing is not wrong…
Believe we gonna fight
And that it certainly isn't bestiality…
We gonna fight
And that we're happy together…
Fight for our right to love yeah
And knowledge is the greatest weapon, isn't it?
Nobody wanna see us together
They may not want to see it,
But it don't matter no
But that's what they're gonna get
'Cause I got you
'Cause I'm not gonna quit loving you, Frankie.But… if you wanna leave me,
Got every right to wanna go
If you decide that we shouldn't be doing this,
Got every right to hit the road
If you wanna throw in the towel…
And never talk to me no more
I'll let you. I won't beg you to stay.
You don't even have to call
I won't talk to you unless it's totally necessary.
Even check for me at all
You don't have to even care bout me if you don't wanna. If all that'll make you happy, then by all means… follow your bliss, Frankie.
Because the way I been actin' lately
Has been off the wall
I know I've been acting a little weird ever since I got back from Charleston,
Especially toward you
That I haven't been treatin' you much like the queen you deserve to be treated like,
Puttin' girls before you
been hanging out with everyone but my lady. I know you've noticed.
And they watchin' everything I been doin'
So has everyone else at Foster's. They all say I've been doin' it…
Just to hurt you
Most of it just ain't true
Ain't true
But they don't know anything. I'd never hurt you evah.
And they won't show you
Besides, what do they know about Us? They don't know
How much of a queen you are to me
how much you mean to me
And why I love you baby
and why I fell In love with you in the first place.They don't want it,
But it don't matter no
but they're gonna get it anyway.
'Cause I got you babe
Look out, world-- here come Wilt and Frankie!
Nobody wanna see us together
Yeah, World, I'm totally aware of what you think of us
But it don't matter no
But I sure don't care
'Cause I got you babe
Because you're not the one I'm in love with.
'Cause we gonna fight
You can try to bring us down…
Oh yes we gonna fight
Try to split us up…
Believe we gonna fight
Talk trash about Us, about me
We gonna fight
(but don't you dare try to talk trash about Frankie!)…
Fight for our right to love yeah
'Cause we're together for life.
Nobody wanna see us together
That's right-- we are.
But it don't matter no
Staying.
'Cause I got you
Together.
Oh oh oh oh oh
'Cause I got you
'Cause I have Frankie,
'Cause I got you
And she has me,
Oh
'Cause I got you babe
And we got each other
'Cause I got you
And that's all we'll ever need.Frankie, a lot of people think that the only reason you're goin' out with me is 'cause you feel bad for me, but I know that ain't true.
But it don't matter no
Nothin' any of them say is true. I know you better than that.
'Cause I got you babe
And I know you love me.
Nobody wanna see us together
They may not know it,
But it don't matter no
But we're gonna do great things,
'Cause I got you babe
And we're gonna do 'em together.
'Cause we gonna fight
I don't care what it takes
Oh yes we gonna fight
Believe we gonna fight
We gonna fight
Fight for our right to love yeah
I wanna be with you for the rest of my life, Frankie.
Nobody wanna see us together
I used to care what the world thought of us, but now I don't.
But it don't matter no
I don't need their approval. Neither do you, and neither do We.
'Cause I got you
Nobody wanna see us together
Their disgust'll only last for a little while, but what we got
But it don't matter no
is gonna last forever.
'Cause I got you babe
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter no
No one is ever gonna stop me from loving you:
Nobody wanna see us together
Nobody wanna see us together
Got every right to wanna leave
Nobody wanna see us together
Nobody wanna see us together
'Cause I got you babe
'Cause we gonna fight
Not Bloo…
Oh yes we gonna fight
Not Ed or Coco…
Believe we gonna fight
Not Mr. Herriman…
We gonna fight
Not Madame Foster… (Well, I don't think she'd mind so much, but it never hurts to cover all you bases.)
Fight for our right to love yeah
'cause it's gonna happen.
Nobody wanna see us together
But it don't matter no
'Cause I got you
Frankie, I love you.
For forever and for always.
