Get It While You Can
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 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 big lesson
So if someone brings you love
Don't throw it away like I did
Get it while you can
Get it while you can
Get it while you can
Don't you turn your back on love
Get it while you can
