Take It As You Find It

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-)
