Do What You Gotta Do Lyrics

Hades: Listen, little girl, you’re talking to a god
And I don’t wanna hear the drama
Kindness ain’t my brand
Mal: Oh, I guess, that’s why you ran
Hades: Try being married to your momma!

Mal: You stink at being a dad
Hades: Poor Mali, are you sad?
Mal: Not as sad as you without your powers.
I didn’t come to fight, for once, do something right
Hades: I steal souls, were you expecting flowers?

Mal: I only need you ’cause I came here for something
Hades: I’ve given you everything, by giving you (me) nothing

Hades: I did what I had to do (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Mal: No, you only did what’s best for you
Hades: Well, you could learn a thing or two (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
When push comes to shove, you do what you gotta do, yeah

Mal: You were never there
Guess you don’t have a phone
You never called to say “I miss you”

Hades: Hahaha, are you kidding?
Is this a joke?
You need to let it go
You’re stronger with those daddy issues

Mal: Oh! Thank you!

Hades: Show me some respect
It ain’t easy to neglect
My attention would’ve made you softer

Mal: Oohoo! Should I be proud?
Don’t turn this thing around

Hades: I guess you are your father’s daughter
Hahaha

Mal: Don’t think I need you
I just came here for something

Hades: I’ve given you everything, by giving you (me) nothing

Mal: I did what I had to do (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
I made it on my own, no thanks to you

Hades: Well, you could learn a thing or two (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
When push comes to shove, You do what you gotta do
How ’bout I go with you and we’ll spend some time?

Mal: How ’bout you stay here
‘Cause you’re out of your mind!

Hades: Let’s make new memories
You can show me the town
Mal: No, you can keep your memories now
Hades: Get over it
Mal: I am over it!
Both: I’m over you being over it!
Hades: Let’s dance

Both: I did what I had to do (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
No, you only did what’s best for you
Well, you could learn a thing or two (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
When push comes to shove, you do
When push comes to shove, you do
When push comes to shove, you do what you gotta do
