Do What You Gotta Do
by Nina Simone
(covered by Okkervil River)
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 only wanted you to know
I don't blame you much for wanting to be free, I only wanted you to know
I've loved you better than your own kin did from the very start.
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 me like you should, they got ways to make you feel no good.
I guess they got no way to know, I had my eyes wide open from the start.
And man, you never lied to me.
And the part of you that they'll never see, well that's 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.
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 that I'll never kiss those sweet lips again,
Pay that no mind.
Find that dappled dream of yours;
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 they make you feel sad, they 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 had my eyes wide open from the start.
And man, you never lied to me.
And the part of you that they'll never see, well that's 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.
