Love the One You’re With (Live at Fillmore West, 1971) Aretha Franklin

[Intro]
A little something that we're experimenting with tonight
So we hope you enjoy it as much as we're going to enjoy doing it

[Verse 1]
Tell me how can you get through
When you can't remember who you're talking to
Your concentration is just slippin' away
Because your baby is so far away

[Chorus]
And the rose in a fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love
Why don't you love the one you're with
Why don't you love the one you're with
(Yeah, it's alright, ain't it?)

[Verse 2]
Don’t be angry (Don’t be)
Baby, don’t be sad (Don’t be)
Don’t sit back top thinking about some goods that you had
There’s a boy sitting next to you
Why don’t you check him out, see what he wants to get into

[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 that you love
Why don’t you love the one you’re with
Love the one you’re with
Yeah, it’s alright, ain't it? Ha ha
