The first thing I did when you said goodbye
 was sit myself down and had 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 girls gotta do what a girls gotta do
 and now I've gotta get to getting over you
 Too bad I've gotta do it with someone new
 but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do

 Fancy meeting you at our stomping-ground
 sorry if you caught me painting the town
 Guess I should have stayed home with your memory,
 Baby,don't take it personally

 A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do
 and now I've gotta get to getting over you
 Too bad I've gotta do it with someone new
 but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do

 Give me a call sometime real soon,
 and remind me to remember to forget about you
 oh yeah

 A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do
 and now I've gotta get to getting over you
 Too bad I've gotta do it with someone new
 but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do

 A girls gotta do it,
 Yea a girls gotta do it
 too bad I gotta do it with someone new
 but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do!
