Lyrics for Do What You Gotta Do
Girl, I can understand how it might be Kind of hard to love a guy like me I don't blame you much for wanting to be free I just wanted you to know I loved you better than your own kin did From the very start It's my own fault for what happens to my heart You see I've always known you'd go Now, you just 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 And find that dappled dream of yours And come on back and see me when you can Now, I know they make you sad Make you feel so bad Say you don't treat me like you should They got ways to make you feel no good I'd guess, they've got no way to know I've had my eyes wide open from the very start And girl, you never lied to me The part of you they'll never, never see Is the part you've shown to me So you just do what you gotta do My wild and sweet love Though it may mean I'll never kiss those sweet lips again Pay that no mind And find that dappled dream of yours And come on back to see me when you can Now, you just do what you wanna do My wild and sweet love Though it may mean I'll never kiss those sweet lips again Pay that no mind And find that dappled dream of yours
