Get While the Gettin's Good Songtext

von Bill Anderson

(Bill Anderson)

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 lot of tender love
And your a 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

But I'm gonna 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 noticed I've 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
Out of your life into a life
Where I'll be understood...
