Be glad you've got what you've got when you've got it

Or you're gonna find out what you've got is gone

Make sure you know what you know when you know it

Or before you know it you'll be all alone

Take care when you do what you do if you do it

If you don't you won't have your baby long

Be glad you've got what you've got when you've got it

Or you're gonna find that what you've got is gone



Now everybody envies you you lucky so and so

You should thank your lucky stars above

Good buddy what she sees in you I guess I'll never know

But it's a wonder that you still have her love

Be glad you've got what you've got...



You'd better treat her better and you'd better start right now

She deserves the best that you can do

She does everything for you the best that she knows how

And that's the least she can expect from you

So be glad you've got what you've got...

Or you're gonna find that what you've got is gone
