If It's Really Got To Be This Way

If it's really got to be this way

I can take it, I don't know

I'll just carry on day to day

Till I make it on my own



Oh, I'll cry, I'll get by

I'll forgive you girl by and by

And I'll forget you some day

If it's really got to be this way



If this is what you think you need

Go ahead girl and do it

Doesn't make a lot of sense to me

But if it's what you want I'll live through it



Oh, I'll cry, I'll get by

I'll forgive you girl by and by

And I'll forget you some day

If it's really got to be this way



In my heart

There will always be a place for you

In my heart

I will always believe we could have made it you and me



Oh, I'll cry and I'll get by

And I'll forgive you girl by and by

And I'll forget you some day

If it's really got to be this way



Yes, I'll forget you some day

If it's really got to be this way

If it's really got to be this way



If it's really got to be this way

If it's really got to be this way

If it's really got to be this way

I can make it I can make it



If it's really got to be this way
