i do it for the joy it brings
 because i'm a joyful girl
 because the world owes me nothing
 and we owe each other the world
 i do it because it's the least i can do
 i do it because 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
 'cuz the bathroom mirror has not budged
 and the woman who lives there can tell
 the [bad word] from the stuff that they say
 and she looks me in the eye
 and says would you prefer the easy way?
 no, well o.k. then
 don't cry

 and i wonder if everything i do
 i do instead
 of something i want to do more
 the question fills my head
 i know that there's no grand plan here
 this is just the way it goes
 and when everything else seems unclear
 i guess at least i know

 i do it for the joy it brings...
