Do What I Gotta Do Lyrics - Ralph Tresvant

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 it's 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 don't wanna treat her cruel, but I like honesty baby, 

so what am I gonna do? 

[Chorus] 

Oh let me break to you gently 

I don't want to (do what I gotta do) hurt you 

All that I can do (what am I gonna do) 

And I don't wanna see ya cry baby 

but what am I gonna do? 

[Chorus] 

The best thing is for us to be apart
