Get It While You Can Songtext
von Howard Tate

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
