Do It Anyway - Ben Folds Five

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 and do it anyway

Do it anyway

There will be times you might leap before you look

There’ll be times you’ll like the cover

And that’s precisely why you’ll love the book

Do it anyway, do it anyway

Tell me what I said I’d never do

Tell me what I said I’d never say

Read me off a list of the 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 downright wrong but you’re invincible 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

Do it anyway

Be honest, anyway

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Woah woah woah woah

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

Now I think you’re okay

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Woah woah woah woah

Everybody knows that you just

Gotta do it anyway

Do it anyway (x8)

Cause you don’t do nothing (Do it anyway)

To avoid self punishment (Do it anyway)

You won’t do nothing (Do it anyway)

You won’t feel nothing (Do it anyway)

Gotta do it (Do it anyway)

Do it, do it anyway (Do it anyway)

Ah (Do it anyway)

Do it anyway!
