The One You Love
Songwriters
 GLENN LEWIS FREY, JACK TEMPCHIN

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 crying
 Isn't he the one who made you blue

When you remember those nights in his arms
 You know you've gotta make up your mind

Are you gonna stay with the one who loves you
 Or are you going back to the one you love
 Someone's gonna cry when they learn 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 disappointments
 Oh girl, what you gonna do

Your heart keeps saying it's just not fair
 But still you've gotta make up your mind

Are you gonna stay with the one who loves you
 Or are you going back to the one you love
 Someone's gonna cry when they know they've lost you

 Someone's gonna thank the stars above
