Frankie J - How to Deal Lyrics

Sometimes a man has to choose
And do something he doesn't wanna do
Do I live my life with you as my wife?
Or do I go on and pursue my lifetime dream?

I gotta do this for me
'Cuz if I dont I'll probably regret it
But if I do I'll probably regret it
How do I cope?

How do you cope when the one you love is with somebody else
And there's nothin' you can do about it?
How do you deal with the fact that you had a chance
But you chose to turn away for your career?

I gotta take it though it's heart breakin'
It's somethin' that I had to do
But nobody said that it would hurt so bad
So how do I live? How do I deal without you?

It's killing me to know that your heart's with me
But you're with him 'cuz I chose to be in this industry
Money, shows and hoes come along with luxury and pain
Is all you see when you think about it

But this is the life that I was given
So I have to live it to the fullest
But how do I deal in the meantime
Without you?

How do you cope when the one you love is with somebody else
And there's nothin' you can do about it?
How do you deal with the fact that you had a chance
But you chose to turn away for your career?

I gotta take it though it's heart breakin'
It's somethin' that I had to do
But nobody said that it would hurt so bad
So how do I live? How do I deal without you?

How do you deal when you can't be with the one you love
And the one that you love is with somebody else?
(I don't know, I don't know)
And what do you do when you know she don't love him
And she loves me but she just can't stand loving you far away
(I guess I'm gonna have to just)
You just deal with it, deal with it
(I don't want to have to live with it)
You just deal with it, deal with it
(No, no, no)
You just deal with it, deal with it
(I don't want nobody else loving you)
You just deal with it, deal with it
(I don't want nobody else loving me

How do you cope when the one you love is with somebody else
And there's nothin' you can do about it?
How do you deal with the fact that you had a chance
But you chose to turn away for your career?

I gotta take it though it's heart breakin'
It's somethin' that I had to do
But nobody said that it would hurt so bad
So how do I live? How do I deal without you?

How do you cope when the one you love is with somebody else
And there's nothin' you can do about it?
How do you deal with the fact that you had a chance
But you chose to turn away for your career?
