New Edition Do What I Gotta Do lyrics

So, so hard girl
I don't know how 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, trust me, I swear

I've been feeling lately like being single or just alone
To get into myself
Love ain't easy, it can be 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?

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
Be apart, baby

Any good relationship 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?

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
Though I love the girl I know that the best thing is for us to be apart


Listen baby, oh, sugar now
(Do what I gotta do)
I gotta do what I gotta do, oh baby
(What am I gonna do?)
Oh, let me break you, tell you gently

I don't want to hurt you
(Do what I gotta do)
All that I can do, do
(What am I gonna do?)
Do you, do you, do you, do, do, do, do
(Do what I gotta do)

And I don't wanna see you cry
Baby, but what am I gonna do?

I 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, 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

Do what I gotta do and break her heart
I don't wanna see you cry, baby
But you know that you're driving me crazy
Do what I gotta do and break her heart
And though I love the girl I know that the best thing is for us to be apart

I know it's gonna work out for the better
The best thing is for us to be apart
