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 ownOh, 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 wayIf 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 itOh, 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 wayIn my heart

There will always be a place for you

In my heart

I will always believe we could have made it you and meOh, 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 wayYes, I'll forget you some day

If it's really got to be this way

If it's really got to be this wayIf 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 itIf it's really got to be this way
