I'll Do It Anyway
Lemonheads · Hotel Sessions [2011]
I'm sure it could be safer to stay at home
You've made your point, it's pointless and it's all gonna burn
I'm in no state to skate but I'm gonna take my turn, yeah
I know you might never really understand
Why go through these motions with my hands
It's a gesture at best but my body's in the right place
To fall in your arms now and wait to save face
I'll do it anyway, no matter what they feel
Ain't got all the facts but I got a hunch and I know the deal
I'll do it anyway, shine what you might have heard
There's something at hand,
it just ain't planned, it's still a beautiful world
American men, you know them, they just gotta be right
When it's left to me often times I'd rather not fight
They make a big deal out of everything and they got too many guns
And just to make 'em mad I'm gonna do it for fun
I'll do it anyway, no matter what they feel
Ain't got all the facts but I got a hunch and I know the deal
I'll do it anyway, shine what you might have heard
There's something at hand,
it just ain't planned, it's still a beautiful world
I'll do it anyway, no matter what they feel
Ain't got all the facts but I got a hunch and I know the deal
I'll do it anyway, over the barren plains
I'm still a girl and it's just a horse and I got the reins
