Sangtekst: Ani Difranco. Dilate. Joyful Girl.

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

And everything I do is judged
And 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
Says would you prefer the easy way?
No well okay then don't cry

I wonder if everything I do, I do instead of something I want to do more
Question fills my head and I, and 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 and a
Because I'm a joyful girl
Because the world owes me nothing and
And we owe each other the world and

And I do it because it's the least I can do
And I do it because I learned it from you
And I, I do it just because I want to
Boy I want to, I just want to
