How Are You Gonna Deal With It

The storm that is underway is gonna rock that house of yours
Leaving you no place to hide
How are you gonna manage from then on
The wind that is but a moan will soon be howling at your door
You're tucked up safe inside
But are you gonna stay in till it's gone

You check locks and latches
And batten down hatches
But the gale will send flying all that it catches

How are you gonna deal with it, baby?
When everything you had got planned
Seems to come crashing down... there... before your eyes
How are you gonna deal with it, baby?
When everything gets out of hand... and all that once mattered
Is picked up and scattered
You're out in the cold
But you hold on and hope to survive

When the dust has all settled you'll find a way to survive
Still closed up or open wide
How are you gonna play it from now on
The storm has passed and you're relieved
Love's still alive
It could have curled up and died
There is no way to play it when it's gone

You check locks and latches
And batten down hatches
But the gale will send flying all that it catches

How are you gonna deal with it, baby?
When everything you had got planned
Seems to come crashing down... there... before your eyes
How are you gonna deal with it, baby?
When everything gets out of hand... and all that once mattered
Is picked up and scattered
You're out in the cold
But you hold on and hope to survive
