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 'cuz it's the least I can do
I do it 'cuz I learned it from you
I do it just because I want to 
because I want to

everything I do is judged
and they mostly get it wrong
but oh well
the bathroom mirror has not budged
the woman who lives there can tell
the [bad word] from the stuff that they say
she looks me in the eye
and says would you prefer the easy way
no, well o.k. then
don't cry

I wonder if everything I do
I do instead 
of something I want to do more
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're a joyful girl
'cuz 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
I do it just because I want to
because I want to
