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
But 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 is 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 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
But 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
I noticed I've quit singing in the shower
I rarely ever laugh and I can tell
I'm wilting like the petals on a flower
And there's nothing left to say now but farewell
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
But 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
