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 went downtown dancin' till the break of dawn A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do And now I 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 meetin' you at our stompin' ground Sorry if you caught me paintin' the town Guess I shoulda stayed home with your memory Well, baby don't take it personally A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do And now I 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 Gimme a call some time real soon And remind me to remember to forget about you
