and try to live correct
lately i do a lot
of things that don't make sense

now 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
some thing as loud as love
calls out i can't refuse

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
