Do what i gotta do lyrics

Artist  : New edition 
Song : Do what i gotta do
 

(so so hard girl)
(i don`t know how to do this)
(Oh i guess its one of those things a man just
has to do)
(but i promise it`ll work out for the better,
trust me)

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?

chorus
i guess i`ll do what i gotta do and break her
heart. i don`t wanna see her cry 
but its hard to live a lie
so i gotta 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

any good relationship starts inside of a happy
man, i think she will understand
if i tell her straight then she can only respect
me, even if we don`t agree
i dont wanna treat her cruel, but i like honesty
baby so what am i gonna do?

chorus

ohh let me break to you gently
i dont want to (do what i gotta do) hurt you
all that i can do (what am i gonna do)
and i dont wanna see ya cry baby but what am i
gonna do?

chorus

(the best thing is for us to be apart)
