Arthur Alexander - If It's Really Got to Be This Way lyrics

If it's really gotta be this way I can take it, I know I'll just carry on day to dayb Until I make it on my own I'll cry but I'll get by And I'll forgive you girl, by and by And I'll forget you someday If it's really gotta be this way If this is what you think you need Then go ahead girl and do it It doesn't make a lot of sense to me But if it's what you want, I'll live through it I'll cry but I'll get by And I'll forgive you girl, by and by And I'll forget you someday If it's really gotta be this way In my heart There'll always be a place for you In my heart I will always believe We could've made it, you and me I'll cry but I'll get by And I'll forgive you girl, by and by And I'll forget you someday If it's really gotta be this way Yes, I'll forget you someday If it's really gotta be this way I can take it, I know I can make it on my own If it's really gotta be this way
