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
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)
