(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
