Lyrics:
(rick bowles/robert byrne)The first thing I did when you said goodbyeWas sit myself down and have a real good cryThe next thing I did was put my red dress onAnd go downtown dancing 'till the break of dawnA girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta doAnd now I gotta get to gettin' over youToo bad I gotta do it, baby, someone newBut a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta doFancy meeting you at our stomping groundSorry if you caught me painting the townGuess I shoulda stayed home with your memoryBaby don't take it personallyA girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta doAnd now I gotta get to gettin' over youToo bad I gotta do it, baby, someone newBut a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta doGive me a call some time real soonAnd remind me to remember to forget about you, oh yeah!A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta doAnd now I gotta get to gettin' over youToo bad I gotta do it with someone newBut a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta doA girl's gotta do itYeah, a girl's gotta do itToo bad I gotta do it with someone newToo bad I gotta do it with someone newBut a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do
