Love The One You're With / Sit Yourself Down

(album: Rufus - 1973)

If you're frightened and confused
And you can't remember who you're talking 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 crying 'bout the good times you had
There's a girl sitting 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 growing a little each day
I got to quit this running 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
Taking it easy, live every day
Me and the raven will fly away
Got to stop running, 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
