Do what you gotta do babe
To make your dreams come true Babe
You got to do your thing
Cause that's how you are (That's how you are)
Do what you gotta do babe
I'll have faith in you babe, yeah
I know you must be free
To follow your star
But if you feel you need me
You only have to call me
I'll come running to your door
After all, that's what friends are for
Do what you gotta do baby
I believe in you baby
You want to fly
And honey I won't stand in your way
I won't stand in your way
Sometimes you might get lonely
And you might be unhappy
I'll play the part of a lover too
That's the least I can do for you
Do what you gotta do baby
Please be careful too baby
I'll be right here
In case you need me someday
Fly, fly, fly, fly, fly away little bird
Spread your wings little bird
Do your thing baby
You're on your way
Spread your wings and fly
Fly away little bird
Sometimes you might get lonely
And you might be unhappy
I'll play the part of a lover too
That's the least I can do for you
Do what you gotta do baby
Please be careful too baby
I'll be right here
I'll be the lover too
If you want to
Fly, fly, fly, fly, fly away little bird
Spread your wings and fly away
Do your thing baby
I'll be standing by waiting
Please be careful baby
Spread your wings and fly so high
May ya don't come here
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting
Baby, baby, baby
Be careful baby
