He's gonna [F]give you some love and [G#]affection
[Chorus:]
I'd say [C]get it while you can, yeah! [Bb] [F]

[Verse 2:]
Don't you [C]know when you're [Em]loving anybody, baby,
[F] You're taking a gamble on a little [C]sorrow,
But then [C]who cares, baby,
'Cause we [C]may not be [Bb]here to-[F]-morrow, no.
And if [C]anybody should come [E]along,
He gonna [F]give you any love and [G#]affection,
[Chorus:]
I'd say [C]get it while you can, yeah! [Bb] [F]
Hey, hey, [C]get it while you can, [Bb] [F]
