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

[Chorus]
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 gotta love the one you're with [Repeat: x3]

Don't be angry, don't be sad
Don't sit crying talking good times you've had
Well there's a girl sitting right next to you
And she's just waiting for something to do

[Chorus]

You gotta love the one you're with
You gotta love the one you're with

Oh yea oh yea, yea
Lord, love the one you're with
You gotta love the one you're with
You gotta love the one you're with
Why don't you love?

Turn your heartache right into joy
She's a girl and you're a boy

Did you get it together and make it nice?
When you ain't gonna need anymore advice

[Chorus]

You gotta love the one you're with [Repeat: x4]

You gotta love, oh love
You gotta love, oh love
You gotta love, love the one you're with
You gotta love, love
