In this world, if you read the papers, Lord,
|
You know everybody's fighting on with each other.
|
You got no one you can count on, baby,
|
Not even your own brother.
|
So if someone comes along,
|
He's gonna give you some love and affection
|
I'd say get it while you can, yeah!
|
Honey, get it while you can,
|
Hey, hey, get it while you can,
|
Don't you turn your back on love, no, no!
|
|
Don't you know when you're loving anybody, baby,
|
You're taking a gamble on a little sorrow,
|
But then who cares, baby,
|
'Cause we may not be here tomorrow, no.
|
And if anybody should come along,
|
He gonna give you any love and affection,
|
I'd say get it while you can, yeah!
|
Hey, hey, get it while you can,
|
Hey, hey, get it while you can.
|
Don't you turn your back on love,
|
No no no, no no no no no.
|
|
Oh, get it while you can,
|
Honey get it when you're gonna wanna need it dear, yeah yeah,
|
Hey hey, 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,
|
I said hold on to somebody when you get a little lonely, dear,
|
Hey hey, hold on to that man's heart,
|
Yeah, get it, want it, hold it, need it,
|
Get it, want it, need it, hold it,
|
Get it while you can, yeah,
|
Honey get it while you can, baby, yeah,
|
Hey hey, get it while you can!
