How do you deal with your broken heart?
It can't be mended.
When it's too late to make a new start,
It's time to end it.
I can't restrain myself all of the time,
Honey I just ain't like that.
I'm tired of explaining myself all of the time,
Honey you know I don't like that,
I just don't like that.

How do you deal with a jealous mind?
It becomes an obsession.
You think about the same things all the time,
Love becomes possession.
I can't keep you with me all of the time,
Honey you know it ain't like that.
I can only give you lovin' part of the time,

Honey I know you don't like that,
I know you don't like that.

And we become so sensitive, it hurts to touch.
Words can lose their meaning when you talk too much,
Maybe everybody shouldn't talk too much.

How do you deal with a broken home?
The pieces are scattered.
Try to build a new life on your own,
Pretend it doesn't matter.
I can't be watching you all of the time,
Honey it just ain't like that.
I'm tired of feeling guilty all of the time,
You know I don't like that,
No, I don't like that.
