Lyrics

[Verse 1]

If you're down and confused

And you don't remember who you're talking to

Concentration slips away

Because your baby is so far away

[Verse 2]

Well, there's a rose in a fisted glove

And the eagle flies with the dove

And if you can't be with the one you love, honey

Love the one you're with

You got to love the one you're with

You got to love the one you're with

You got to love the one you're with

[Verse 3]

Don't be angry, don't be sad

Don't sit crying talking 'bout the good times you've had

Well, there's a girl sitting right next to you

And she's just waiting for something to do

[Verse 4]

Well, there's a rose in a fisted glove

And the eagle flies with the dove

And if you can't be with the one you love, honey

Love the one you're with

You got to love the one you're with

You got to love the one you're with

[Verse 5]

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo doo

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo doo

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo doo

Doo doo doo, doo doo doo

[Verse 6]

Oh, love the one you're with

You got to love the one you're with

You got to love the one you're with

Why don't you love

[Verse 7]

Turn your heartaches right into joy, now

She's a girl, yeah, and you're a boy

I want you to get it together and make it nice

Well, you ain't gonna need anymore advice

[Verse 8]

Hey, there's a rose in a fisted glove

And the eagle flies with the dove

Sometimes you can't be with the one you love, honey

Love the one you're with

You got to love the one you're with

You got to love the one you're with

You got to love the one you're with

You got to love the one you're with

You gotta love (Love the one you're with)

You gotta love (Love the one you're with)

Oh, love (Love the one you're with)

You gotta love (Love the one you're with)

Whoa yeah (Love Lhe one you're with)

You gotta love, love the one you're with

Love the one you're with

You gotta love, well (Love the one you're with)

[Verse 9]

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo doo

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo doo

Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo doo

Doo doo doo, doo doo doo
