Janis Joplin - Get It While You Can [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
In this world, if you read the papers, Lord
You know everybody's fighting on with each other
You got no one you can count on, baby
Not even your own brother

[Chorus]
So if someone comes along
He's going to give you some love and affection
I'd say get it while you can, yeah
Honey, get it while you can
Hey, hey, get it while you can
Don't you turn your back on love, no, no

[Verse 2]
Don't you know when you're loving anybody, baby
You're taking a gamble on a little sorrow
But then who cares, baby
Because we may not be here tomorrow, no

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Oh, get it while you can
Honey get it when you're going to want to need it dear, yeah yeah
Hey hey, get it while you can
Don't you turn your back on love
No no no, no no no no, get it while you can
I said hold on to somebody when you get a little lonely, dear

[Outro]
Hey hey, hold on to that man's heart
Yeah, get it, want it, hold it, need it
Get it, want it, need it, hold it
Get it while you can, yeah
Honey get it while you can, baby, yeah
Hey hey, get it while you can
