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 don't I'll probably regret it,
But if I do I'll probably regret it,
How do I cope?



[Chorus]
How do you cope when
The one you love is with somebody else
And there's nothing you could do about it?
How do I 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 heartbreakin'
It's something 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 cause 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?



[Chorus]
How do you cope when
The one you love is with somebody else
And there's nothing you could do about it?
How do I 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 heartbreakin'
It's something 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 but the one you love is
with somebody else?
What do you do when you know she don't love him
but she love me but she cant stand lovin' you faraway?
you just deal with it, deal with it,
(I dont wanna 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 dont want nobody else alovin' you)
you just deal with it, deal with it,
(I dont nobody else alovin' me)



[Chorus]
How do you cope when
The one you love is with somebody else
And there's nothing you could do about it?
How do I 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 heartbreakin'
It's something 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 nothing you could do about it?
