Do What You Gotta Do Lyrics By Nina Simone

    do what you gotta do
    come on back see me when you can

    man i can understand how it might be
    kinda hard to love a girl like me
    i don’t blame you much for wanting to be free
    i just wanted you to know
    i’ve loved you better that your own kin did
    from the very start
    it’s my own fault what happens to my heart
    you see i’ve always known you’d go

    so you just do what you gotta do my wild sweet love
    though it may mean that i’ll never kiss those sweet lips again
    pay that no mind find that dappled dream of yours
    come on back and see me when you can

    now i know it’ll make you feel sad
    and make you feel so bad
    they say you don’t treat me me like you should
    they got ways to make you feel no good
    i guess they got no way to know
    i’ve had my eyes wide open from the start
    and man you never lied to me
    the part of you that they’ll never see
    is the part you’ve shown to me

    so you just do what you gotta do my wild sweet love
    though it may mean that i’ll never kiss those sweet lips again
    pay that no mind find that dappled dream of yours
    come on back and see me when you can
