Come and Get It Lyrics

[Verse]
If you want it, here it is, come and get it
Mm-mm-mm-mm, make your mind up fast
If you want it, anytime I can give it
But you better hurry 'cause it may not last

Did I hear you say that there must be a catch?
Will you walk away from a fool and his money?

If you want it, here it is, come and get it
But you better hurry 'cause it's going fast

[Verse]
If you want it, here it is, come and get it
Mm-mm-mm-mm, make your mind up fast
If you want it, anytime, I can give it
But you better hurry 'cause it may not last
Did I hear you say that there must be a catch?
Will you walk away from a fool and his money?
Sonny, if you want it, here it is, come and get it
But you better hurry 'cause it's going fast
You'd better hurry 'cause it's going fast
Ooh-ooh-ooh, fool and his money

[Outro]
Sonny, if you want it, here it is, come and get it
But you better hurry 'cause it's going fast
You'd better hurry 'cause it's going fast
You'd better hurry 'cause it's going fast

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
