"Get It While You Can" lyrics

Howard Tate Lyrics

"Get It While You Can"
(originally by Howard Tate)

In this world where people are fighting with each other
And there's no one you can count on
Not even your own brother

So if someone comes along
And gives you genuine affection

Get it while you can
Get it while you can

When you love somebody
You're taking the chance on sorrow
And who knows, baby
We may not be here tomorrow

So if someone comes along
And gives you genuine protection

Get it while you can
Get it while you can
Get it while you can
Don't you turn your back on love
Don't you turn your back on love
Don't you turn your back on love

Once I had a good woman
But I did not count my blessings
Wish she could hear me
I've learned a better lesson

So if someone comes along
And gives you genuine affection

Get it while you can
Get it while you can
You better get it while you can
Don't you turn your back on love

Get it while you can
Get it while you can
You better get it while you can
Don't you turn your back on love
