In this world where people are fighting with each other Nobody to count on, not even your own brother So, if someone comes along who gives you genuine love and affection Get it while you can, get it while you can Get it while you can, don't you turn your back on love When you love somebody, you're taking a chance on sorrow But who knows, baby, we may not be here tomorrow So, if someone comes your way with love and protection Get it while you can, get it while you can Get it while you can, don't you turn your back on love I want to tell you a little bit about myself Once I had a good woman, but I didn't count my blessings Oh, I wish she could hear me, I've learned a bit of lessons So, if someone brings you love, don't throw it away like I did Get it while you can, better go on and get it while you can Get it while you can, babe, don't you turn your back on love Get it while you can, ooh, get it while you can Better go on and get it while you can
