Lyrics

[Intro] (Ah, ah) Oh no (Ah, ah) (Ah, ah) So, so hard, girl (Ah, ah, I gotta do) Mmm, I don't know how to do this Oh, I guess it's one of those things a man just has to do (I gotta do) But I promise it'll work out for the better, baby Trust me (Ah, ah) It's gonna hurt, though (Ah, ah, I gotta do) [Verse 1] I've been feeling lately Like being single or just alone To get into myself (I gotta do) Love ain't easy making me crazy Games that we play Sometimes the rules have to change [Pre-Chorus] I don't wanna treat her cruel But I like honesty So what am I gonna do? [Chorus] 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 [Post-Chorus] Ah, ah Ah, ah (Be apart, baby) Ah, ah (Ooh-ooh) Ah, ah, I gotta do [Verse 2] Any good relationship starts inside of a happy man I think she will understand (I gotta do) If I tell her straight up, then she can only respect me Even if we don't agree [Pre-Chorus] Oh, I don't wanna treat her cruel But I like honesty, baby So what am I gonna do? [Chorus] 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) Though I love the girl I know That the best thing is for us to be apart [Bridge] 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 hurt you, girl (Do what I gotta do) All that I can do, do (What am I gonna do?) Hoo-hoo Do ya do, do da do (Do what I gotta do) Do, do And I don't wanna see you cry, baby But what am I gonna do? [Chorus] Oh, I've got to do what I gotta do and break her heart (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 and break her heart) Oh, her heart, girl 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 (Hoo) And though I love the girl I know That the best thing is for us to be apart [Outro] (Ah, ah, ah, ah) I know it's gonna work out for the better (Ah, ah, ah) The best thing is for us to be apart
