Lyrics Randy Newman – The One You Love

You’ve got to learn to get to know the one you love
To anticipate her every move
You got to know exactly what she’s thinking of
She may be hungry

Young man
You’re running free
You’re running wild
You fall in love
You become nothing but a little baby child
She can hurt you
With the sound of her voice
You can leave her
But you got no choice
You can’t leave her man
You’re just a prisoner of the one you love
The one you love
The one you love

True love never runs smooth you know
Sometimes there’ll be sunny days
Sometimes there’ll be sleet and snow
When true love calls you
Man you gotta go
And when you gotta go, you gotta go
You got to know the one you love

Once a great man’s heart was captured by a lovely chest
He told himself it was her mind he loved
But he was blind like all the rest
Twenty hard years went by
Till another chest will catch his eye
He just hung his head and cried
And said, «Sorry dear you’re too late
I’ve already ruined my life»
You’ve got to know the one you love
You’ve got to know the one you love

She may be gentle
She may be kind
She may not know exactly what’s on her mind
But you better know
Or you’re gonna find
You lose the one you love
The one you love
The one you love
