"Do What I Gotta Do" lyrics - RALPH TRESVANT

Ah...ah... (Whoa...oh...)
Ah...ah...
Ah...ah...ah...ah...ah... (So, so hard, girl)
Ah...ah... (I gotta)

Mmm...
I'm 'bout to do this
Oh, I guess it's one of those things a man just has to do
But I promise
It'll work out for the better, baby
Trust me

Ah...ha...
Ah...ah... (I gotta)

I've been feelin' lately like bein' single or just alone
To get into myself
Love ain't easy, makin' 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...ha...
Ha...ha... (Be apart, baby)
Ha...ha...ha...ha...ha... (Hoo...)
Ha...ha...
I gotta

Any good relationships starts inside of a happy man
I think she will understand
If I tell her straight up, then she can only respect me
Even if we don't agree

I don't wanna treat her cruel
But I like honesty, baby
So what am I gonna do

Oh, I've gotta 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 (Do what I gotta do)
All that I can do, do (What am I gonna do), hoo, hoo
Do, do, do, do, do (Do what I gotta do)
And I don't wanna see you cry, baby
But what am I gonna do

Oh, I've gotta 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)
And though I love the girl, I know
That the best thing is for us to be apart

Do what I gotta do
And break her heart (Her heart, girl)
I don't wanna see you cry, baby
But you know that it's drivin' 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...ah...ah...
Ah...ah... (And the best thing is for us to be apart)
