Glenn Frey – The One You Love lyrics
(Instrumental)

I know you need a friend, someone you can talk to
Who will understand what you're going through
When it comes to love, there's no easy answer
Only you can say what you're gonna do
I heard you on the phone, you took his number
Said you weren't alone, but you'd call him soon
Isn't he the guy, the guy who left you cryin'?
Isn't he the one who made you blue?
When you remember those nights in his arms
You know you gotta make up your mind

Are you gonna stay with the one who loves you
Or are you goin' back to the one you love?
Someone's gonna cry when they know they've lost you
Someone's gonna thank the stars above

What you gonna say when he comes over?
There's no easy way to see this through
All the broken dreams, all the disappointment
Oh girl, what you gonna do?
Your heart keeps sayin' it's just not fair
But still you gotta make up your mind

Are you gonna stay with the one who loves you
Or are you goin' back to the one you love?
Someone's gonna cry when they know they've lost you
Someone's gonna thank the stars above

    I had a man who I adored who kept me dangling for a long time. He would come back to me when something else didn't work out and I kept justifying taking him back by telling myself that at least he keeps coming back to me.
    Until I realized that I didn't expect I deserved any better and decided it was time to look for and I found someone who had the staying power. It hurt me to tell the first guy no more. But I never regretted staying with the one who loves me because he never leaves me. The one I loved. Never loved me back.
