Lyrics

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 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 turn your back on love
I wanna 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 bitter lesson
So if someone brings you love, don't throw it away like I did
Get it while you can
Ooh, you better go on and get it while you can
Get it while you can, baby
Don't 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, baby
