Medley: Love The One You're With/sit Yourself Down Lyrics - Singles - Rufus

If you're frightened and confused 

And you can't remember who you're talkin' to 

If your concentration slips away 

'cause your baby is miles away 

Chorus: 

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 

Don't sit frightened, don't sit mad 

Don't sit cryin' 'bout the good times you had 

There's a girl sittin' right next to you 

And she's waiting for something to do 

Chorus: 

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 

Turn your heartaches into joy 

She's a girl, you're a boy, 

Get it all together, make it nice 

I won't give you no more advice 

Chorus: 

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 

When I get restless what can I do 

When I need someone I think about you 

I got to move on, not fade away 

I'm only just growin' a little each day 

I got to quit this runnin' around 

Got to get rid of the blues 

Got to find somebody to make me slow down 

Chorus: 

Oh lay it down 

Sit yourself down, take a look around 

Sit yourself down, take a look around 

Sit yourself down, take a look around 

Sit yourself down, take a look around 

When I get older mellowed down 

Get myself settled on a patch of ground 

Takin' it easy, live every day 

Me and the raven will fly away 

Got to stop runnin', got to get rid of the blues 

Got to find somebody who will love me 

Chorus: 

Oh lay it down 

Sit yourself down, take a look around 

Sit yourself down, take a look around 

Sit yourself down, take a look around 

Sit yourself down, take a look around
