The One You Love
FREY GLENN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The lyrics to Glenn Frey's song "The One You Love" speaks of a dilemma in a relationship, where the woman is torn between staying with a man who loves her, but she doesn't love back and the man she loves, who had broken her heart in the past. Glenn tries to reason with her and reminds her to follow her heart and make up her mind. He acknowledges that love isn't an easy thing and that there are times when choices must be made.
The first stanza suggests that the woman needs someone to confide in, to try and make sense of what's happening in her love life, but ultimately she has to make the decision. The second stanza highlights her past with the man she loves, and how she is tempted to go back to him despite their history, and the chorus confirms the lyrics' theme of having to choose a love interest. The third stanza poses an interesting question about what she is going to do when she meets the man she loves, and the last stanza acknowledges the emotional pain the decision would cause her and her partner.
In summary, the song speaks of a relationship conundrum that some people face, where they have to choose between being with someone they love and someone who loves them.

I heard you on the phone
I overheard you having a conversation
You took his number
You exchanged contact information with him
Said you weren't alone, but you'd call him soon
You claimed you weren't by yourself and promised to contact him in the near future
Isn't he the guy
Aren't you referring to that specific person
The guy who left you crying
The person who caused you to cry and feel upset
Isn't he the one who made you blue
Is he not the person who made you feel sad and depressed
When you remember those nights in his arms
When you reminisce about the intimate moments you shared with him
You know you've gotta make up your mind
You realize you need to make a decision about what to do next
Are you gonna stay with the one who loves you

Someone will undoubtedly shed tears when they realize they no longer have your love

What will you tell him when he meets with you
There's no easy way to see this through
There is no effortless method to resolve this situation
All the broken dreams
All the aspirations and hopes that didn't come to fruition
All the disappointments
All the letdowns and letbacks along the way
Oh girl, what you gonna do
Oh girl, what decision will you make
Your heart keeps saying it's just not fair
Your heart insists that the situation is unjust and unfair
But still you've gotta make up your mind
Nevertheless, you have to decide what to do

To the ones who don't know, Glenn Frey is a member of the group (The Eagles). I have always loved this song from the first time I heard it back when it first came out. It is ashame lyrics are not written like this anymore. I am trying to change that as we speak. I am a songwriter. Thank you Lord for my gift.

All about my love destiny is literally written in this song.
They say I am too gorgeous.
I will be torn between 2 lovers.
Should I be happy or sad?

People who make music like this should never die.
