Do What I Gotta Do (BW's Vibe) - Ralph Tresvant

Damn

I don’t believe this

You know, they always say

If you love someone or something enough

You gotta be willing to let 'em go

Well, if this is true, baby

Then I think this situation has arrived for us

Trust me

It’s hard to say goodbye to anyone or anything you love

But it’ll work out for the better

Listen

My heart can’t take anymore of this, baby

I’ve tried for so long, mama

I think it’s time for me to really finally go

I don’t want you to worry about a thing, alright?

Whenever you need me, any time you want me, baby

I’ll be right there for you

Hey, it’s on of them things a man’s just gotta do

Ah, ah

Ah, ah (I gotta do)

I’ve been feeling lately

Lik 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

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, ah, ah (Ooh ooh)

Ah, ah

I gotta

Any good relationships 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

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 (Hoo)

How would my man Barry say?

He’d say

(Too much of a good thing is not good for you)

Ha, well, I don’t know if I agree with that

(After we’ve loved, and shared love, and made love)

It’s kinda hard to watch it all just disappear

Maybe we’ll get back together again and start all over

But for right now, love, there’s only one thing to do

And that is what any stone cold gentleman with sensitivity would do

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) hurt you, girl

All that I can do, do

(What am I gonna do?)

Hoo, hoo

Do, do, do, do, do, do

(Do what I gotta do) Do, do

And I don’t wanna see you cry, baby

But what am I gonna do?

It’s hard to say, it’s hard to say goodbye

To the way that things used to be

But I’ll always be right there when you need me

Oh, so hard (Do what I gotta do)

Don’t wanna say it, don’t wanna say goodbye

(And break her heart) Ah, baby

Though I love the girl I know (Ah, little girl)

That the best thing for us is to be apart

Looks like we’re gonna have to say goodbye (Her heart)

Bye, bye, bye, bye, my, my, my cutie pie, bye, baby

I don’t wanna see you cry, baby

But you know that it’s driving me crazy

(Do what I gotta do) Break her little heart (Ooh)

Though I love the girl I know (Things'll work out)

That the best thing for us is to be apart

Ah, ah ah (I know it’s gonna work out for the better)

It’s hard to say, it’s hard to say goodbye

The best thing is for us to be apart
