When you’re down, and confused
And you don’t remember who you been talking to
Concentration, slips away
Because your baby, is so far away

Well there’s a rose in the 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

Don’t be angry, don’t be sad
When you sit down and think about
All those good times that we’ve had
There’s a girl, right next to you
and she’s just waiting, for something to do

Well there’s a rose in the 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
Love the one you’re with

Do doot doot doot doot doot doot doot
Do doot doot doot doot doot doot doot
Do do doot, Do do doot

Turn your heartache, right into joy
She’s a girl, and you’re a boy
Get it together and make it nice
You ain’t gonna need no more advice
