Do What You Gotta Do lyrics

[Intro]

Do what you gotta do

Come on back, see me when you can

[Verse 1]

Man, I can understand how it might be

Kinda hard to love a girl like me

I don't blame you much for wanting to be free

I just wanted you to know

I've loved you better that your own kin did

From the very start it's my own fault

What happens to my heart

You see I've always known you'd go

[Chorus]

So you just do what you gotta do, my wild sweet love

Though it may mean that I'll never kiss those sweet lips again

Pay that no mind, find that dappled dream of yours

Come on back and see me when you can

[Verse 2]

Now I know it'll make you feel sad

And make you feel so bad

They say you don't treat me like you should

They got ways to make you feel no good

I guess they got no way to know

I've had my eyes wide open from the start

And man you never lied to me

The part of you that they'll never see

Is the part you've shown to me

[Chorus]

So you just do what you gotta do, my wild sweet love

Though it may mean that I'll never kiss those sweet lips again

Pay that no mind, find that dappled dream of yours

Come on back and see me when you can
