Get It While You Can lyrics - Chris Cornell

(originally by Howard Tate)

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

Get it while you can

Get it while you can

Get it while you can

Don't you turn your back on love

Don't you turn your back on love

Don't you turn your back on love

Once I had a good woman

But I did not count my blessings

Wish she could hear me

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

You better get it while you can

Don't you turn your back on love

Get it while you can

Get it while you can

You better get it while you can

Don't you turn your back on love
