Joyful Girl Lyrics by Ani DiFranco

Joyful Girl Lyrics

    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 truth 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...
