Lyrics
Ah, ah, (whoa, oh, oh)
Ah, ah
(Ah, ah, ah) So, so hard, girl
Ah, ah (I gotta)
(oh, oh, oh)
I'm about to do this
(do what I, do what I gotta do)
I guess it's one of those things a man just has to do (I gotta)
(oooh, oooh, oooh) But I promise it'll work out for the better, baby
Trust me
(Ah, ah) It'll work out for the better
(I gotta)
I've been feeling lately like being single or just alone
To get into myself (I gotta)
Love ain't easy, making me crazy
Games 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, ah) Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
Ah, ah (I gotta)
Any good relationship starts inside of a happy man
I think she will understand (I gotta)
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 got to do what I gotta do and break her heart (oh, oh)
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
Oooh
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 (do what I gotta do)
All that I can do
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh (what am I gonna do?)
Hoo, hoo, oooh, oooh
Do what I gotta do, do what I gotta do
(do what I gotta do) Doo, doo, doo, doo (oh, sugar, no)
And I don't wanna see you cry, baby
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)
And though I love the girl I know
That the best thing is for us is to be apart
Do what I gotta do (oh) and break her heart, girl (oh, sugar, no)
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 (oooh, oooh, oooh)
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) And the best thing is for us to be apart
