(I gotta)
I've been feelin' lately like being single
Or just alone
To get into myself
(I gotta)

Love ain't easy
There can be crazy games
That we play
Sometimes the rules have to change

I don't want to 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
And though I love the girl I know
That the best thing is for us to be apart

Be apart, ooh

(I gotta )
Any good relationship starts inside
Of a happy man
I think she will understand
(I gotta)

If I tell her straight up then she can only
Respect me, even if we don't agree
I don't want to treat her cruel
But I like honesty, baby
So what am I gonna do?
Oh, I've got to do

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 to be apart

Listen baby, ooh

Oh, sugar, darlin'
(Do what I gotta do)
I gotta do what I gotta do
Oh, baby
(What am I gonna do?)

Ooh, 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
(What am I gonna do?)

Do it, do it, do it, do it, do
And I don't want to 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

Ooh, so hard
Don't wanna say
Don't wanna say goodbye
(Ooh, baby)

And though I love the girl I know
(Ooh, little girl)
That the best thing
(Ooh, little girl)
Is for us to be apart

Looks like we're gonna have to say goodbye
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, beauty, bye, 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

And though I love the girl I know
(Things will work out, it's gonna work out, oh baby)
That the best thing is for us to be apart
