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 'til the break of dawn

A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do
And now I've gotta get to getting over you
Too bad I gotta do it with someone new
But a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do

Fancy meeting you out stomping ground
Sorry if you caught me painting the town
If 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've 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

Give me a call sometime real soon
And remind me to remember
To forget about you, yeah

A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do
And now I've gotta get to getting over you
Too bad I gotta do it with someone new
But a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do

Yeah, a girl's gotta do it
Yeah, a girl's gotta do it
To bad I gotta do it (with someone new)
To bad I gotta do it with someone new
But a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do
