[Intro]
Mmm-hmm-hmm
Mmm-hmm
[Chorus]
If you see
Something and you want it
You had better get it
Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm
If you see something and you want it
You had better get it, mmm-hmm
[Pre-Chorus]
But one, two, three
Make sure when you get it
That four, five, six
You know what to do with it
[Chorus]
So if you see
Something and you want it
You had better get it
Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm
[Verse 2]
Now girls, I know that there have been times
That you've seen a man
That you'd love to call your very own
But you knew all the time that you best girlfriend
Had her heart set on that same man
So you stood aside because you didn't wanna hurt her
In case you won him, and she lost him
But listen, girls
Remember the old saying that says
"All is fair in love and war"
And if you see a man that you want
You go on and get that man
'Cause let me tell you one thing
[Pre-Chorus]
One, two, three
If you don't do it
Four, five, six
Another woman will beat you to it
[Chorus]
So if a-you see
A man and you want him
You had better get him
Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm
[Verse 3]
Ha-ha-ha-ha
Listen, fellas
Oh, I know that there have been times
You've seen a woman that you'd love to call your very own, too
But all the time you knew that your best buddy
Had his eyes set on that same woman
So you didn't wanna compete against him
Because you knew
That you had what it took to get her, and he didn't
But listen, fellas
Remember the old saying that says
"Every man for himself, and God for us all"
So if you see that woman, and you want that woman
You go on and get that woman
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause one, two, three
If a-you wait too long
Four, five, six
Another man will have her and gone
[Chorus]
So if a-you see
A woman and you want her
You had better get her
Mmm-hmm, mmm
