In this world 
where people
are fighting 
with each other,
Noone to count on
Not even
your own brother.
Till someone
comes along
and gives you
genuine affection.

Chorus:
Get it while you can (Ooooooh)
Better get it while you can
Get it while you can
Don't turn your back on love

When you love
somebody
You're taking a chance
on sorrow.
Who knows, baby,
We may not, may not
be here tomorrow.
Should someone 
comes along
and gives you
genuine protection 

(Chorus)

I wanna tell you a little bit about myself.

Once I had a good woman
But I didn't
count my blessings.
Oh I wish she could hear me
to see, oh I've learned a bitter lesson.

So if someone
comes along
and gives you
genuine affection.

(Chorus 2x)

Don't turn your back on love.
