Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He ain't calling you back (new Toni Braxton shit, baby)
Lately, you don't get along (woo)
You're sick and tired of it all
You can't take it no more (let's go)
No need to say you feel some kind of way
Just do what you need to do (do), do what you need to do (do)
If you take him back, it's gon' be the same
Just do what you need to do (do), do what you need to do
(Come on)
Just do it, do it, do it
Do it, yeah-yeah
Do what you need to do (do), do what you need to do
Just do it, do it, do it
Do it, yeah-yeah (woo)
Do what you need to do (do), do what you need to do
(Here we go)
And even God don't understand why
You forgave him so many times (woo)
He got you back and forth
And 'round and 'round and up and down again
Know you'll never win
You gotta stop pretending
No need to say you feel some kind of way
Just do what you need to do (do), do what you need to do (do) (woo)

Yeah, I thought I knew it how I got myself into it
Must've been that good sex
How he had me 'bout to lose it (okay)

Look at all this pain and I can't cover all these bruises

If you say you love me then you gon' have to prove it (come on)
