Do What I Gotta Do Lyrics

Ah... ah... (Whoa... oh...)
Ah... ah...
Ah... ah... ah... ah... ah... (So, so hard, girl)
Ah... ah... (I gotta)

Mmm...
I'm 'bout to do this
Oh, I guess it's one of those things a man just has to do
But I promise
It'll work out for the better, baby
Trust me

Ah... ha...
Ah... ah... (I gotta)

I've been feelin' lately like bein' single or just alone
To get into myself
Love ain't easy, makin' me 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

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
Though I love the girl, I know
That the best thing is for us to be apart

Ah... ha...
Ha... ha... (Be apart, baby)
Ha... ha... ha... ha... ha... (Hoo...)
Ha... ha...
I gotta

Any good relationships starts inside of a happy man
I think she will understand
If I tell her straight up, 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

Oh, I've gotta 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 (Break her little heart)
Though I love the girl, I know
That the best thing is for us to be apart

Listen, baby, hoo

Oh, sugar, no {Do what I gotta do}
I gotta do what I gotta do, oh, baby {What am I gonna do}
Oh, let me break it to you gently, I don't want to {Do what I gotta do}
All that I can do, do {What am I gonna do}, hoo, hoo
Do, do, do, do, do {Do what I gotta do}
And I don't wanna see you cry, baby
But what am I gonna do

Oh, I've gotta 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 (Break her little heart)
And though I love the girl, I know
That the best thing is for us to be apart

Do what I gotta do
And break her heart (Her heart, girl)
I don't wanna see you cry, baby
But you know that it's drivin' me crazy

Do what I gotta do
And break her heart (Hoo...)
And though I love the girl, I know
That the best thing is for us to be apart

Ah... ah...
Ah... ah... (I know it's gonna work out for the better)
Ah... ah... ah... ah... ah...
Ah... ah... (And the best thing is for us to be apart)

Ralph Tresvant, aka Rizz (born Ralph Edward Tresvant Jr., on May 16, 1968 in Roxbury, Massachusetts) is an American tenor singer, best known as one of the lead singers in R&B act New Edition.

Tresvant sang lead on many of the New Edition lead singles including "Candy Girl", "Cool It Now" and "If It Isn't Love". Tresvant led the group from 1983 to 1989.

Despite the success of groupmates Bobby Brown, Bell Biv DeVoe, and Johnny Gill, Tresvant was cautious about his own solo career. Signing to MCA Records, Tresvant let his apprehension be known in several interviews.

Nevertheless, well-known producers Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis were confident in his abilities after having worked with him on the album Heart Break. They wrote the song "Sensitivity" for him which hit #1 on the R&B charts, #4 on the Hot 100 and it went gold. His self-titled album released shortly after in 1990 and went platinum as well, topping the R&B charts. The album scored two more hits with "Stone Cold Gentleman" reaching #3 on the R&B charts and "Do What I Gotta Do" which reached #2.

Tresvant appeared in the movie House Party 2 in 1991 and the play, "The Man Of Her Dreams" in 2002. In 1993, he released his second album, It's Goin' Down. The album gave Tresvant greater involvement as he produced many of the tracks himself. However, perhaps due to limited promotion, the album failed to perform commercially as well as the debut.

In October 2004 "Sensitivity" appeared in popular videogame Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, playing on R&B/Soul radio station CSR 103.9.

On September 18, 2004, he married Amber Serrano.

Ralph's third solo album, Rizz Wa Faire, was released March 7, 2006. The first single from the album was "My Homegirl".

Tresvant will portray Reverend Winter in the 2008 film, Mama, I Want to Sing! starring pop-R&B singer Ciara. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
