You Don't Always Have To Do It

Lyrics by Renata Connors and Music by Trev Reed and Renata Connors

Last night at my local somebody told me
I'm not doing it right
when the greatest adventure in my life
is getting wet in the rain.
I don't have a bucket, I don't have a list,
my future's not bright,
I'm letting great chances slip through my fingers
and disappear down the drain.


I said that I liked to just sit by the window
and stare at the clouds
skydiving out of an aeroplane
doesn't quite float my boat.
I'm mostly happy, I never regret
I have minimum doubts
because I follow a simple recipe
I saw in a Facebook quote.

CH:
You don't always have to do it.
You can always just dream about it.
You don't always have to do it.
You can just dream.


There is this guy who walks down my street,
he's got lovely hair
and also nice eyes, his figure's not bad
I like him a lot.
Maybe he's single, I'd like to talk to him
but would I dare
to leave the loom, let my mirror crack, and
run to sir Lancelot.

CH:
You don't always have to do it.
You can always just dream about it.
You don't always have to do it.
You can just dream.
