Love The One You’re With was written by Stephen Stills after he was inspired by the late Billy Preston’s tagline: “If you can’t be with the one you love, love the one you’re with” and asked him permission to use it in the song.
The song peaked at #14 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1970.
It would late...
[Verse 1]
If you're down and confused
And you don't remember who you're talking to
Concentration slip 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
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
[Verse 2]
Don't be angry, don't be sad
And don't sit crying over good times you had
There's a girl right next to you
And she's just waiting for something to do
[Chorus]
And 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
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
[Post-Chorus]
Do-do, do-do, do-do, do-do
Do-do, do-do, do-do, do-do
Do-do, do-do, do-do, do-do
Do-do-do, do-do-do
[Refrain]
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
[Verse 3]
Turn your heartache right into joy
She's a girl and you're a boy
Get it together, make it nice
Ain't gonna need any more advice
[Chorus]
And 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
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
Love the one you're with
[Post-Chorus]
Do-do, do-do, do-do, do-do
Do-do, do-do, do-do, do-do
Do-do, do-do, do-do, do-do
Do-do-do, do-do-do
