Ben Folds Five - Do It Anyway lyrics

rate me

You might put your love and trust on the line

it’s risky, people love to tear that down

Let ‘em try, do it anyway

Risk it anyway

And if you’re paralyzed by a voice in your head

It’s the standing still that should be scaring you instead

Go on in, do it anyway

Do it anyway

There will be times you might leap before you look

There’ll be times you’ll like the covering

That’s precisely why you’ll love the book

Do it anyway

Do it anyway

Tell me what I said I will never do

Tell me what I’ve said I’d never say

Read me off a list of things I used to not like

But now I think are okay

Sometimes it’s not subjective wrong and right

Deep down you know it’s down right wrong

But you’re invicible tonight

So you do it anyway

It’s done you did it

Despite your grand attempts the chips are set to fall

And all the stories you might weave

Cannot negotiate them all

Bo it anyway

Be honest anyway

So tell me what I said I will never do

Tell me what I’ve said I’d never say

Read me off a list of things I used to not like

But now I think are okay

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Whoa whoa whoa whoa

It’s gonna be so very hard to say

And watch the trust and joy all drain from her innocent face

But you must do it anyway

It sucks but do it anyway

Call it surrender but you know that that's a joke

And the punchline is you were actually never in control

But still

Surrender anyway

Tell me what you said you'd never do

Tell me what you said you’d never say

Read me off that list of things cause I used to not like you

But now I think you're okay

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Whoa whoa whoa whoa

Everybody knows that you just gotta do it anyway

Do it anyway 8x

Cause you don’t do nothing to avoid your punishment

You don’t do nothing

You don’t do nothing

Gotta do it anyway

Do it anyway
