(rick bowles/robert byrne)
The first thing i did when you said goodbye
Was sit myself down and have a real good cry
The next thing i did was put my red dress on
And go downtown dancing 'till the break of dawn
A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do
And now i gotta get to gettin' over you
Too bad i gotta do it, baby, someone new
But a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do
Fancy meeting you at our stomping ground
Sorry if you caught me painting the town
Guess i shoulda stayed home with your memory
Baby don't take it personally
A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do
And now i gotta get to gettin' over you
Too bad i gotta do it, baby, someone new
But a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do
Give me a call some time real soon
And remind me to remember to forget about you, oh yeah!
A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do
And now i gotta get to gettin' over you
Too bad i gotta do it with someone new
But a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do
A girl's gotta do it
Yeah, a girl's gotta do it
Too bad i gotta do it with someone new
Too bad i gotta do it with someone new
But a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do
