get it while you can

Chris Cornell

In this world where people are fighting with each other
And there's no one you can count on
Not even your own brother

So if someone comes along
And gives you genuine affection
Get it while you can
Get it while you can

When you love somebody
You're taking the chance on sorrow
And who knows, baby?
We may not be here tomorrow

So if someone comes along
And gives you genuine protection
You better get it while you can (Get it while you can)
Get it while you can (Get it while you can)
Get it while you can
Don't turn your back on love
Don't turn your back on love
Don't turn your back on love

Once I had a good woman
But I did not count my blessings
Wish she could hear me now
I've learned a better lesson

So if someone comes along
And gives you genuine affection
Get it while you can (Get it while you can)
Get it while you can (Get it while you can)
You better get it while you can
Don't turn your back on love
Hey, hey
Get it while you can (Get it while you can)
Get it while you can (Get it while you can)
You better get it while you can
Don't turn your back on love
