Do What You Gotta Do Songtext

von Okkervil River

Man, I can understand how it might be
Kind of hard to love a girl like me
I don't blame you much for wanting to be free
I only wanted you to know
I loved you better than your own kin did
From the start
It's my own fault what happens to my heart
You see I always knew you'd go

So you just do what you gotta do
My wild sweet love
Though it may mean 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 they make you feel sad
They make you feel so bad
They say you don't treat me like you should
They've got ways to make you feel no good
I guess they've got no way to know
I had my eyes wide open from the very start
And man, you never lied to me
And the part of you they'll never see
Well, that's the part you showed to me

So you just do what you gotta do
My wild sweet love
Though it may mean 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
