I was taught bright an' early, seek and you shall find
And slowly but oh-so surely
You'll leave your loneliness behind
Take it as you find it
Or you might as well leave it be
Take it as you find it
I'm only telling you like somebody told me
Now some folks don't believe it
But the every word is true
You've got to give it to receive it
Can't just claim it as your due
Take it as you find it
Or you might as well leave it be, whoa
Take it as you find it
I'm only telling you like somebody told me
(Ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh)
Take it as you find it
Or you might as well leave it be, whoa
(Take it as you find it)
I'm only telling you like somebody told me
(Ooh) took me sometime to learn it
I didn't get it 'til I let it sink in
Everybody's got to earn it
Love don't owe you a thing
Take it as you find it
Or you might as well leave it be, mm-mm
Take it as you find it
I'm only telling you like somebody told me
Like somebody told me
You got to take it as you find it (take it as you find it)
(Take it as you find it) whoa, now, take it as you find it
(Take it as you find it) mm-hmm
(Take it as you find it)
(Take it as you find-)
