[Verse 1]
I'm gonna tell you a thing or two
And it's the truth you might find
If there's something you wanna do
You better choose the right time
[Chorus]
You got to get it when you can
Got to recognize your chance
Whatever you need, whatever it'd be
You got to get it when you can
[Verse 2]
Now, Brother Albert says there ain't no hope
Without the something I need
I looked in my bag, I'm at the end of my rope
Just got a very few feet
[Chorus]
You got to get it when you can
You got to recognize your chance
Whatever you need, whatever it'd be
You got to get it when you can

[Verse 3]
Now, listen, people, to what I say
I know you know that it's right
And if you're looking, don't be afraid
'Cause you can get it tonight
[Chorus]
You got to get it when you can
You got to recognize your chance
Whatever you need, whatever it'd be
You got to get it when you can
[Outro]
Hey, you got to get it when you can
Got to get it when you can
Whatever you need, I said whatever it'd be
You got to get it when you can
