Get While The Gettin's Good

I gotta get while the gettin's good baby get while the gettin's good
Out of your life into a life where I'll be understood
I need a lots of tender love and your heart's made out of wood
If I'm never gonna find a 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 well I figured out the trouble
I'd learned to crawl before I learned to run

But I'm gonna get while the gettin's good baby get while the gettin's good...
[ steel ]
I've noticed I'd quit singing in the shower
I rarely ever laugh and I can tell
I'm wilting like the petals on the flowers
And there's nothing left to say now but farewell

And I'm gonna get while the gettin's good baby get while the gettin's good...
If I'm never gonna find a peace of mind I gotta get while the gettin' is good
