Sometimes youve got to take the heat
If youre gonna walk down the mean street
Take the heat and you see it through
cause sometimes it comes down to
Do what you gotta do

Sometimes it goes right down to the wire
And you might have to walk through the fire
Walk on, boy all the way through
Sometimes it just comes down to
Do what you gotta do

Well, theres people thatll tell you
Its just no use
And theres people thatll tell you
That youre gonna lose
People thatll tell you
Anything youre gonna listen to
Do what you gotta do

Someday theyre going to call your name
Theyll come looking for some one to blame
Whats your name, boy
Hey, you just tell them true
cause they cant take the truth from you
So do what you gotta do

Well, theyll call you a hero or a traitor
But youll find out that, sooner or later,
Nobody in this world is gonna do it for you
Do what you gotta do

There aint nobody in this world
Thats gonna do it for you
Do what you gotta do
