Difranco Ani Joyful Girl Lyrics

Joyful Girl Lyrics

i do it for the joy it brings
because i am a joyful girl
because the world
owes me nothing
we owe each other the world.
i do it cuase its the least i
can do
because i learned it from you.
i do it just because i want
to,
because i want to.
everything i do i judged,
and they mostly get
it wrong
but oh well
the bathroom mirror has not budged,
and the woman
who lives there can tell
the truth from the stuff they say.
she looks me
in the eye,
and says would you prefer the easy way?
no, well ok
then,
don't cry.
heyy...heyy. yeah, yeah
and i wonder if everything i
do
i do instead
of something i would rather do more
the question fills
my head.
and i know there is no grand plan here
this is just the way it
goes.
i do it for the joy it brings
because i am a joyful girl
