Janis Joplin › Lyrics › Get It While You Can

In this world, if you read the papers, darling
You know everybody's fightin' on with each other
You got no one you can count on, dear
Not even your own brother

So if someone comes along
He gonna give you some love and affection

I'd say, get it while you can, yeah
Honey, get it while you can, yeah
Hey, hey, get it while you can
Don't you turn your back on love, no, no

Don't you know, when you're lovin' anybody, baby
You're taking a gamble on a little sorrow
But then who cares, baby
'Cause we may not be here tomorrow, no

And if anybody should come along
He gonna give you your love and affection

I'd say, get it while you can, yeah
Hey, hey, get it while you can
Hey, hey, get it while you can
Don't you turn your back on love
No no no, no no no no no

Oh, get it while you can
Honey, get it when you're gonna
Wanna need it in, yeah yeah
Hey, hey get it while you can
Don't you turn your back on love
No no no, no no no no
Get it while you can

I said, hold on to somebody
When you get a little knowledge, yeah
Hey, hey hold on to that man's heart, yeah

Get it, want it, hold it, need it
Get it, want it, need it, hold it
Get it while you can
Honey, get it while you can, baby, yeah
Hey, hey, get it while you can
