Joyful Girl

Joyful Girl

You do it for the joy it brings
Because you're a joyful girl
Because the world owes me nothing
And we owe each other the world
I do it cause it's the least I can do
I do it cause I learned it from you
I do it just because I want to
Just because I want to...

Everything I do is judged
And mostly they get it wrong Oh well
The bathroom mirror has not budged
And the woman who lives there can tell The truth from the stuff that they say
And she looks me in the eye
And says...
Would you prefer it the easy way?
No?
Well, okay then ...
Don't cry

I wonder if everything I do
I do instead
Of something I want to do more
The question fills my head
I know there's no grand plan here
This is just the way it goes
When everything else seems unclear
I guess at least I know
You do it for the joy it brings
Because you'e a joyful girl
Because the world owes me nothing
And we owe each other the world
I do it, it's the least I can do
I do it, I learned it from you you I do it just because I want to Just because I want to...
