(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
