Lyrics Joyful Girl - Soulive, Dave Matthews

Joyful Girl

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 truth 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
