(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.      --- Instrumental ---      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...
