Do What You Gotta Do Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Man, I can understand how it might be
Kinda hard for you to love a girl like me
I don't blame you much for wanting to be free
I just wanted you to know
That I've loved you better that your own kin did
From the very start
It's my own fault
What happens to my heart
I've always known you'd go
[Chorus]
And do
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 baffle dream of yours
Come on back and see me when you can
[Verse 2]
Now I know
I know it makes you feel sad
I know it makes you feel so bad
They say you don't treat me me like you should
They got ways to make you feel no good
They got no way to know
I had my eyes wide open from the very start
You never, never, never lied to me
The part of you that they'll never see
Is the part you've shown to me
[Chorus]
Go on do
Do what you gotta do
My wild sweet love
Though it may mean I'll never kiss those sweet lips again
Pay that no mind, find that baffle dream of yours
Come on back and see me when you can
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh, yeah
