Joyful Girl

I do it for the joy it brings

'Cause I am a joyful girl

'Cause the world owes me nothing

We owe each other the world

And I do it 'cause it's the least I can do

I do it 'cause I learned it from you

And I do it just because I want to

'Cause I want to

And everything I do is judged

They mostly get it wrong, but oh well

Bathroom mirror has not budged

The woman who lives there can tell

The truth from the stuff that they say

She looks me in the eye

I said, "Would you prefer the easy way?

No? Well, okay 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

And I know 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

'Cause I'm a joyful girl

'Cause the world owes me nothing

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

'Cause I want to
