Love the One You Love Lyrics by Johnny 99

Words Left Unsaid

2021

[Verse 1]
Well, old Joe's been sittin' in the bar room since the neon lights were dim
And he's fixing on sitting this one solo 'til his legs give out on him
[Refrain]
It don't matter that he's got the perfect family, it don't matter that she's good to him
Under the weight of it all, even a good man will fall when he thinks he don't deserve to win
[Chorus]
'Cause you love the one you love, but you hurt the one you're with
And despite the fact we see it, wе still walk towards the pit
Just like a captain that is bound to keep on sinking with the ship
Wе just go on treading water, waiting for the waves to quit
[Verse 2]
Now Suzy's been staring at the telephone since her old man went up north
And she knows her heart longs for no other, but she can't take the back and forth
[Refrain]
Don't matter that she knows he does it all for her, it don't matter that she holds him so dear
In that big old home, she starts to feel so alone, sometimes we all need to feel someone near
[Chorus]
'Cause you love the one you love, but you hurt the one you're with
And despite the fact we see it, we still walk towards the pit
Just like a captain that is bound to keep on sinking with the ship
We just go on treading water, waiting for the waves to quit
[Bridge]
Just like a movie that we've seen more times than we're willing to admit
Well, we've all got our demons, might be time to cut the shit
[Chorus]
'Cause you love the one you love, but you hurt the one you're with
And until we face the music, we'll just go on doin' it
Just like a captain that is bound to keep on sinking with the ship
We just go on treading water, waiting for the waves to quit
