Do What I Gotta Do

(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)

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

I don't wanna treat her cruel

But I like honesty

So what am I gonna do?

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

Ah, ah

Ah, ah (Be apart, baby)

Ah, ah (Ooh-ooh)

Ah, ah, I gotta do

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

Oh, I don't wanna treat her cruel

But I like honesty, baby

So what am I gonna do?

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

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?

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

(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
