Lyrics

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
It's alright
Go ahead and love the one, love the one, love the one you're with (x2)

If you're down and confused
And you don't remember who you're talking to
Your concentration slips away
Because your baby, sweetheart, sugar's so far away

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)(x3)

Don't be angry
Don't be sad
And don't sit cry'in over good times you had
There's a girl
Right next to you
And she's waiting
For something to do

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
Love the one you're with (yeah)
Love the one you're with (that's right)
Do do do do do do do it x3

I don't know why (you don't, you don't)
Don't know why (you don't, you don't)
Don't know why (you don't, you don't)
Don't know why (you don't, you don't)
(You don't)

Turn your heartache right into joy
She's a girl and you're a boy
Get it together
Make it tonight
You ain't gonna need any more advice

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

Bridge
Love, love, love, love, love (love the one)
Love, love, love, love, love (love the one)
Love, love, love, love, love (love the one)
Love, love, love, love, love
(You gotta do somethin')
Gotta do something, the nights really jumping so love
(The one you're with)
Don't mind the feeling, it's not like you're falling in love
(With the one you're with)
Hugging and kissing when you're love is missin love
(Just the one you're with)
Can't do no harm if it's only one night and you're in
(The one you're with)

My man, go ahead on
Find somebogy, get some love
Love will still be right here when you get home
For a night, get the love
The eagles flying with the dove
And if you can't get to the one you love
Just love the one you're with
