I'll Do It Anyway Lyrics

Bless my soul maybe i should leave it alone I'm sure It would 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 I know you may never really understand why I 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 all 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 over the barren plains I'm stll a girl It's just a horse and I got the reigns

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
