Do It Anyway Lyrics - Ben Folds

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 ok 

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 

So 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 OK 

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 never actually 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 OK 

Yeah yeah yeah yeah 

Whoa whoa whoa whoa 

Everybody knows that you just gotta do it anyway 

Do it anyway 

Do it anyway 

Do it anyway 

Do it anyway 

Do it anyway 

Do it anyway 

Do it anyway 

Do it anyway 

'Cause you don't do nothing to avoid self punishment 

You won't do nothing 

You won't feel nothing 

Gotta 

Do it, do it, do it anyway 

Ah 

Do it anyway
