Do What I Gotta Do lyrics

Intro
(Ah, ah) Oh no
(Ah, ah)
(Ah, ah) So, so hard, girl
(Ah, ah, I gotta do)
Mmm, I don't know how to do this
Oh, I guess it's one of those things a man just has to do
(I gotta do)
But I promise it'll work out for the better, baby
Trust me (Ah, ah)
It's gonna hurt, though
(Ah, ah, I gotta do)

Verse 1
I've been feeling lately
Like being single or just alone
To get into myself (I gotta do)
Love ain't easy making me crazy
Games that we play
Sometimes the rules have to change

Pre-Chorus
I don't wanna treat her cruel
But I like honesty
So what am I gonna do?

Chorus
I guess I'll do what I gotta do and break her heart
I don't wanna see her cry, but it's hard to live a lie
So I gotta do what I gotta do and break her heart
Though I love the girl I know
That the best thing is for us to be apart

Post-Chorus
Ah, ah
Ah, ah (Be apart, baby)
Ah, ah (Ooh-ooh)
Ah, ah, I gotta do

Verse 2
Any good relationship starts inside of a happy man
I think she will understand (I gotta do)
If I tell her straight up, then she can only respect me
Even if we don't agree

Pre-Chorus
Oh, I don't wanna treat her cruel
But I like honesty, baby
So what am I gonna do?

Chorus
Oh, I've got to do what I gotta do and break her heart
I don't wanna see her cry, but it's hard to live a lie
So I gotta do what I gotta do and break her heart
(Break her little heart)
Though I love the girl I know
That the best thing is for us to be apart

Bridge
Listen, baby, hoo
Oh, sugar, no (Do what I gotta do)
I gotta do what I gotta do, oh baby
(What am I gonna do?)
Oh, let me break it to you gently
I don't want to hurt you, girl
(Do what I gotta do)
All that I can do, do
(What am I gonna do?) Hoo-hoo
Do ya do, do da do
(Do what I gotta do) Do, do
And I don't wanna see you cry, baby
But what am I gonna do?

Chorus
Oh, I've got to do what I gotta do and break her heart
(Her heart)
I don't wanna see her cry, but it's hard to live a lie
So I gotta do what I gotta do and break her heart
(Break her little heart)
And though I love the girl I know
That the best thing is for us is to be apart
(Do what I gotta do and break her heart)
Oh, her heart, girl
I don't wanna see you cry, baby
But you know that it's driving me crazy
Do what I gotta do and break her heart (Hoo)
And though I love the girl I know
That the best thing is for us to be apart

Outro
(Ah, ah, ah, ah) I know it's gonna work out for the better
(Ah, ah, ah) The best thing is for us to be apart
