Get It While You Can Lyrics By Janis Joplin

    in this world if you read the papers lord
    you know everybody’s fighting on with each other
    you got no one you can count on baby
    not even your own brother

    so if someone comes along
    he’s going to give you some love and affection
    i’d say get it while you can yeah
    honey get it while you can
    hey hey get it while you can
    don’t you turn your back on love no no

    don’t you know when you’re loving anybody baby
    you’re taking a gamble on a little sorrow
    but then who cares baby
    because we may not be here tomorrow no

    oh get it while you can
    honey get it when you’re going to want to need it dear 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 lonely dear

    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 yeah
    honey get it while you can baby yeah
    hey hey get it while you can
