Do What You Gotta Do Lyrics - Hazel O'connor

{Words & Music: Jim Webb} 

Boy, I can understand how it might be 

Kind of hard to love a girl like me 

I don't blame you much for want-it to be free 

I just wanted you to know 

I've loved you better than your own kin did 

From the very start 

It's my own fault what happens to my heart 

See I've always known you'd go 

[CHORUS:] 

So you just do what you gotta do 

My wild sweet love 

Tho' it may mean that I'll never kiss those sweet lips again 

Pay that no mind, just chase that dappled dream of yours 

And come on back and see me when you can. 

Now I know they make you sad 

Oh it make me feel so bad 

Say you don't treat me like you should 

They got ways to make you feel no good 

I guess they got no way to know 

Had my eyes wide open from the start 

And boy, the part you've shown to me 

Is the part of you they'll never see 

It's the part you've shown to me 

[CHORUS 2x] 

Just chase that dappled dream of yours 

And come on back and see me when you can 

Just chase that dappled dream of yours 

And come on back and see me when you can
