- Do What You Gotta Do Lyrics / with translationsGirl 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've loved you better that your own kin did
From the very start
it's my own fault for what happens to my heart, girl
You see I've always known you'd go
So 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
Just chase that dappled dream of yours
Come on back, come on back see me when you can
(make it in a hurry)
Now I know they make you feel, make you feel kinda sad
Yeah, Say you don't treat me me like you should
They got ways, yeah, to make you feel no good
But they got no way to know
I've had my eyes wide open from the very start
And girl you've never lied to me
And the part they will never, never see
Is the part you've shown me
So 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
Chase that dappled dream of yours
and come on back, come on back and see me when you can
Do what you, do what you gotta do
My wild sweet love
Though it may mean I'll never kiss those lips again
Oh pay that no mind
Chase that dappled dream of yours
Come on back, come on back see me when you can
Now I know they make you feel sad, make you feel so bad
Say you don't treat me me like you should
They got ways, to make you feel no good
I guess they got no way to know
I've had my eyes wide open from the start
Girl you've never lied to me
But the part they will never see
Is the part that you've shown me
Oh is the part that you've shown me
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've loved you better than your own kin did
From the very very start
Though it's my own fault
What ever happens to my heart
You see I've always known you'd go
So you just do, oh do
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've loved you better that your own kin did
From the very start

You see I've always known you'd go
So 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
Just chase that dappled dream of yours
Come on back, come on back see me when you can
