Get It While You Can |
| In this world, if you read the papers, darling, |
| You know everybody’s fighting with each other. |
| You got no one you can count on, dear, |
| Not even your own brother. |
| So if someone comes along, |
| He gonna give you love and affection, |
| I’d say get it while you can, yeah, |
| Honey, get it while you can, yeah, |
| Honey, grab it while you can, |
| Don’t you turn your back on love, no, no, no. |
| When you’re loving somebody, baby, |
| You’re taking a gamble against some sorrow. |
| But who knows, baby, |
| 'Cause we may not be here tomorrow. |
| And if anybody comes along, |
| He gonna give you love and affection, |
| I’d say get it while you can, yeah! |
| Honey, grab it when you’re gonna need it! |
| Yeah hey, hold it while you can, |
| Don’t you turn your sweet back on love, |
| No no no, no no no no no! |
| Ah! |
| Once I had me a man, |
| But I didn’t know enough at the time |
| To count my blessings, no no, |
| But I wish he could see me crying today, |
| 'Cause his love don’t feel to listen. |
| And if anybody comes along, |
| He gonna give me love and affection, |
| Yeah, hey!, Hey! |
| Yeah! |
| Hey! |
| Get it while you can, yeah! |
| Honey, get it while you can, yeah! |
| Honey, get it while you can, |
| Don’t you turn your back on love, |
| No no no, no no no no. |
| Get it while you can, yeah! |
| Honey, grab it while you can, yeah! |
| I said, hold on to that man, love, |
| Hold on to that man whole, |
| Yeah, get it, want it, need it, |
| Get it, get it, hold it, need it, want it, |
| Get it, need it, want it, hold it, |
| Get it, squeeze it, love it, touch it, |
| Use it, need it, want it, get it, |
| Need it, want it, hold it, |
| Yeah hey, get it while you can, baby, |
| Yeah hey, get it while you can, |
| Honey, don’t you go and turn your sweet back on love, |
| No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no No, no, daddy, |
| you'll be sorry, |
| No, no, no, no! |
| Why, thank you! |
