I gotta get while the gettin's good honey get while the gettin's good

Out of your life into a life where I'll be understood

I need lots of tender look and your heart's made outta wood

If I'm never gonna find peace of mind I gotta get while the gettin's good



You told me that love was one big bubble

We played the game by your rules and you won

And just today I figured out the trouble I learned to crawl before I learned to run

I gotta get while the gettin's good...

[ steel ]

I've noticed I've quit singin' in the shower I rarely ever laugh and I can tell

I'm willting like the petals on a flower there's nothing left to say now but farewell

I gotta get while the gettin's good...
