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...
