[Interlude]
Ah, yeah
Damn
I don't believe this
You know, they always say
If you love someone or something enough
You gotta be willing to let 'em go
Well, if this is true, baby
Then I think this situation has arrived for us
Trust me
It's hard to say goodbye to anyone or anything you love
But it'll work out for the better
Listen
My heart can't take anymore of this, baby
I've tried for so long, mama
I think it's time for me to really finally go
I don't want you to worry about a thing, alright?
Whenever you need me, any time you want me, baby
I'll be right there for you
Hey, it's one of them things a man's just gotta do
(Do what I gotta do)
Hmm, I've always wanted somebody
Somebody to take me for what I am
We've been together for so, so, so long
It's hard for me to even put it in words how I feel about you
They always say a man's not supposed to cry
Well, I don't think they've ever been in my position
Or at least take my position as serious as I do
(Sure you're right)
They say love is supposed to be a many splendored thing
And all I've kinda been through is a lot of heartache and pain
But when a relationship gets to that point, baby
The best thing you do (Do what I gotta do)
The best thing you do is do what you gotta do
(Do what I gotta do)
And we both know what that is, right?
You go your way, baby, and I'll go mine
Still, I can't this picture of you out of mine, nah
How would my man Barry say? He'd say
(Too much of a good thing is not good for you)
Ha, well, I don't know if I agree with that
(After we've loved, and shared love, and made love)
It's kinda hard to watch it all just disappear
Maybe we'll get back together again and start all over
But for right now, love, there's only one thing to do
And that is what any stone cold gentleman with sensitivity would do
(Do what I gotta do)
And you know, that's just to be honest with himself, ha
And especially be honest to you
And if I ever said anything, baby
Anything to you as long as you've known me
This one right here hurts the worst
They say a man is not supposed to cry
But you know, baby (Your sweetness has always been my weakness)
Oh, I don't know
Man, I don't know if things will ever be the same again
(Do what I gotta do)
But one thing I do know, baby
Is my love for you will never die
So just do me one favor, baby
Look the other way, I don't want you to see me cry
(Do what I gotta, do what I gotta, do what I gotta do)
