Get It While You Can

Get It While You Can - Janis Joplin

In this world if you read the papers darling

You know everybody's fighting 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 love and affection

I'd say get it while you can yeah

Honey get it while you can yeah

Honey grab it while you can

Don't you turn your back on love no no no

When you're loving somebody baby

You're taking a gamble against some sorrow

But who knows baby

'Cause we may not be here tomorrow

And if anybody comes along

He gonna give you love and affection

I'd say get it while you can yeah

Honey grab it when you're gonna need it

Yeah hey hold it while you can

Don't you turn your sweet back on love

No no no no no no no no

Ah Once I had me a man

But I didn't know enough at the time

To count my blessings no no

But I wish he could see me crying today

'Cause his love don't feel to listen

And if anybody comes along

He gonna give me love and affection

Yeah hey Hey Yeah Hey

Get it while you can yeah

Honey get it while you can yeah

Honey get it while you can

Don't you turn your back on love
