Stephen Stills - Love The One You're With Lyrics
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
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
Don't be angry - don't be sad
Don't sit crying over good times you'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 a fisted glove
And if you can't be with the one you love honey
Love the one you're with
Turn your heartache right into joy
'Cause she's a girl and you're a boy
Get it together come on make it nice
You ain't gonna need any more advice
Well there's a rose in a fisted glove
And if you can't be with the one you love, honey
Love the one you're with

I agree

Dec 28, 2019: Looking for a spouse or soul mate? Put GOD first and ask Him! 1) Love the LORD your God with all your heart, soul and strength. Deut 6:5; and 2) Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the 'desires' of your heart. Psalm 37:4 P.S. God is not a prude, and loves happy marriages.
Victoria Trambley ...This is So True! Amen!

And many many years later Harry Styles singing a new tune. Two styles same sound.
Story of my life
They sing like angels...
You can only see them in Hidden Valley.
@Tommy. LOL!
The captain of the spaceship on the movie Prometheus said the chorus of this song so I tracked it down
ZERO PERCENT CHANCE
A girl called Angela brought me here.
If you can't be with the one you love,
Keep it in your pants.
When you remember in the 70,s your young mother twirling singing and dancing to this song
When your mother has been passed some decade now
This song is so hard to listen to but yet is pure joy at the same time.
This song should be on every radio station on earth
Very groovey
im here because of fear the walking dead
The title speaks volumes LOUDLY & PROUDLY & so do I😉.
Happy Birthday Stephen Have a BLAST !!!!!!!!
I was youth hostelling in the Wye Valley (St. Briavels and Welsh Bicknor) supposedly doing Geography coursework. It was 1971. This and My Sweet Lord was my soundtrack
Ahh a oldie but still a goodie 🙃
As a kid I thought this was a wonderful message about being openhearted and loving everybody. Now, I think he was just talking about having sex with groupies lol
Yes... me too... and yes, I think it was ... It's too bad the lyrics are so..... specific ... It could have been used for a variety of events and sharing with friends and loved ones who are at a distance... to remind them that there are people right there who feel the same way and need love too... but... not "that kind "... It doesn't work .. Good for " memories of the times", but that's about it.
The Hammond B3 took church to where ever it showed up.
Michael Brennock , I read your comment three times and I still don't know what the fuck you are talking about . I am pretty sure he meant ....If you can't be with the one you love , love the one you are with ...P.S. my comment was in a lighthearted way , peace brother !
The organ solo really makes this song special
1966 & on I loved Stephan Stills but the message here must have caused millions of badly broken hearts. Even as a 15 year old then I bridled at this stupid theme.
Fuck yes
i’m here cause jake kiszka said so
I think their best ever !#
For a long time, I thought this song was about learning to settle down with the person you know instead of the person you pine for.
I have started to wonder if myself and most people took this advice for opposing the noblest ideals you believe in for the sake of a 'comfortable' situation that doesn't serve you or your partner at all - and that deep down you know what you've done and resent yourself for it?
After properly listening to the song, I wonder if he was merely talking about moving on after someone you loved has passed away?
I am not sure about the meaning, as in I haven't researched itor heard Stills comment, etc. A good rule of thumb is that pretty much one needs consider 60's music as being focused on drugs and sex - free love and turning "on". No judgement here, this is what was happening in society. Also, lyrics were less explicit than today, meaning was conveyed in a way so as not to incur the ire of "squares" and censors. Thus, when singing about sex and drugs, artists would be less direct. All this is to say, that I have always interpreted the song to mean love the one you're with as looving the partner you are having "free love" with. This is to distinguish "free love" from todays "hook ups". Free love had "meaning" according to the hippies. I would say hook ups do not.
Seriously,You Nerds?
A girl got me here
Prometheus brought me here.
Love the bum you're with
Truer words have never been spoken! I am living it right now.
1969 and still a classic rock and roll hit 2019
Awesome tune back in the day. Still live by that motto.
The post man was banging my wife and as I walked in they were playing this song so thats why I'm here
1:42 MAKES THIS SONG IT IS LIKE YOUR SOUL LEFT THE PLANET... MUSICALLY.
ZERO PERCENT CHANCE
Shaw and Vickers are hooot babes!
Simpsons anyone?
Treehouse of Horror when Homer was cloned over and over again.
@Alan A xD
The 2 best organ parts I've ever heard in a song are both by guitar players.Stephen Stills on this one,and Stevie Winwood on Gimme Some Lovin.
The outrigger looks inviting!
Such an amazing track!
Eternally grateful for this upload of the original ! thank you so much ! most of the other versions performed or recorded by Steven Stills, csny, and other singers and musicians on this original recording on youtube , vimeo, daily motion, etc , sound so in the background . Again, thank you so much ! by the way Stills got the title from what fellow great artist Billy Preston said to him once about getting over a break up from somebody you still love but you gotta move on. I don't know if Love the one you are with are verbatim from Preston but something like love the one you're with . they were good friends .
sally loved this song. i hated her for it. she is a bitch. glad shes gone.
By all means don't sugar coat it.
@Vincent LOL! That was funny.
My divorce lawyer wrote this song
LOL, Now thats funny!
Share that stuff,Brother!
Came here from https://youtu.be/8NunpJODvNA
Woodstock brought me here, that and I had to hear from the guy who was actually a finalist for the TV group, The Monkees. Alas, Mr. Stills had crooked teeth and wasn't as photogenic as his friend, Peter Tork.
Ain’t gonna need any more advice.
*Insert Scott Pilgrim joke*
One of the greatest rock songs of all times!!
I love the one i'm with my beautiful wife, 43 years now
Awesome Larry. Not far behind ya.
If you don't remember who you are talking to!!!! Never.
Had never heard this song until two days ago, I can account for at least a million of those views!
Better late then never.
Because I am with nobody, I don't have to love nobody.
At least this was the thought I took from the song title.
zeze do bone Jesus is always with you! He loves you and you should never feel alone!
This the hands of porn and well all know that's how ones heart goes when he loves that porn all day long and sings hey I am a rapper and I sing about my God who says it's ok to love porn....carry on
I am not with U!!!! CHEATER! Anybody that has anything to do with ATT is on automatic grounds of being a little suspect!!! Just because of all the things that have gone on with that phone over the years and you guys know this!!
By the way .... #TEAMGIANTS OVER U ANYDAY!!! 😂 😝
Smowbording life
The rebound song.
I have always loved the steel drum sound in the background of this song, makes it very unique.
Look here bitch, get off my shit and go love the fool you with. We are not together. We are nothing. Go be with your bitch and get the Fuck on you crazy ass stalker.
Prometheus brought me here
The good old days when music was good bought me here such nostalgia
What a great message, eh? So reflective of its times.
When you remember that one friend you loved as a kid and parted ways to find out later that you two were perfect together and would still be perfect. But they and you have settled down with someone else.
I feel like this is a reference
Yes....I can relate to this...3 years ago we found each other after 50 years...such joy....but it's too late for us to be together...as he said. "We've left our run too late." But, we still have a great friendship...
Does this song not just put a happy tune to being a cheating scumbag ,fkn boomer music
Timeless song really.....(1970-1971) it sounds 'fresh as new' yet today even.....Thanks, Stephen Stills !!
Great talent and song
My girl is acting crazy so i told her she could move on and be like that stephen stills song. Thats what brought me here
Not gonna lie, up until a few weeks ago I had never heard of this song. I was familiar with Stills thru his CSNY and Buffalo Springfield work, but the other week I accidentally turned on the Stingray Classic Rock tv channel and this song was on, and I can’t stop listening!
better late than never!
Great song! Haven't heard this in a long time.
Hearing this for the first time a few months back served as a sign to me about my current place in life. I try to remember the lyrics when things arent looking too bright, glad i heard again today.
Humboldt county in 1981... the weed, the women and the friend's....
Love the bum your with
SUBLIME Acoustic guitar is good but the Hammond B3 is what soars you to ecstasy.
Brings me back to Paradiso, Amsterdam, 1971.....!
one of the best guitarists ever !
Oh FFS.
a girl just waiting for sex,....like all "girls,"...all women are just looking to get sex,...boys and girls,...music from the USA,...so wholesome. The message is,.."boys and girls go and have sex with strangers....
What a cool tune
Much love to ya my darling. We'll meet someday in the creek. 💞
Way b 4 u where born lololll
A green bowl of goodness and time to listen to Steven preach.
"Turn your heartache into JOY"....There was a time when music could do that .... And this was then!
Never will understand why Stephen isn't held in the same regard as Young. Far better singer, easily the better musician and every bit the writer.
Remember folks, this is the only album of anyone where Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton are both featured together. Kudos to Stephen Stills for setting it up.
UGHHHH ❤️❤️❤️
My past relationship brought me here. He didn't love the one he was with. You wouldn't believe how many time's he'd talk to me about other women he liked better. Red flag much? But I still love someone. He just doesn't know it. So I won't be bitter: my prerogative is to make this one feel loved...even if only behind his back, haha.
+++++!!!
Damn it man, trying to live up to this song. But it’s just so damn. When you start seeing someone, you like this person, but then you realize, that you’ve fallen in love with your best friend and didn’t know it...
Music was better than today
Cracking song!
so glad I grew up when I did.
A timeless classic
Many many yrs ago I offered this here artist my love ballad’ Your Spanish Thighs’ it goes’loveliest thighs in all of Mehico ‘ I am a morbidly obese bipolar songwriter
