I heard somebody say
Some cold and lonely day
That love don't ever stay
One place too long
I guess for some that's true
So was for me and you
That omen came right true
And you were gone
Ohh, you were gone
Ohh, like a drunken song
Ohh, I learned that if I could
Better get it while the getting's good
Ohh, ohh
Better get it while the getting's good
Ohh, ohh
I had some money once
Went out and drank it all
Man, I still [?]
Trying to get along
Work fingers to the bone
And wound up all alone
Ain't that the way it goes
Always ends up gone
Ohh, you were gone
Ohh, like a drunken song
Ohh, I learned that if I could
Better get it while the getting's good
Ohh, ohh
Better get it while the getting's good
Ohh, ohh
Better get it while the getting's good
