Lyrics

What I Must Do

I used to plan and plot And try to live correct Lately I do a lot Of things that don't make sense Now I must Do what I must Do what I must Do what I must Now why do you Think that a man Jumps out of the frying pan Into the fire When he can Find a way not to get burned? I must do what I must do And I do, though I know better I must do what I must do Even though he's gonna get it Below the sky above Beyond what's good and true Something as loud as love Calls out, I can't refuse Now I must Do what I must Do what I must Do what I must Now why do you Think that a man Jumps out of the frying pan Into the fire When he can Find a way not to get burned? I must do what I must do And I do, though I know better I must do what I must do Even though he might regret it I must do what I must do And I do, though I know better I must do what I must do Even though he's gonna get it
