[Verse 1]
I know you'll probably think I ain't your type
You mighta had something else in mind
Sometimes you want roses, but you get wildflowers
You mighta had something else in mind, yeah

[Chorus]
But you take what you can get sometimes
Yeah, you take what you can get sometimes
Shoot for the stars, reach for the sky
That's all good, baby, that's all fine
Take what you can get sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes
You take what you get, yeah

[Verse 2]
Everybody's lookin' for something more
Got one foot in, the othеr out the door
Yeah, we'rе trippin' over gemstones lookin' for diamonds
Everybody's lookin' for something more, yeah

[Chorus]
But you take what you can get sometimes
Yeah, you take what you can get sometimes
Shoot for the stars, reach for the sky
That's all good, baby, that's all fine
But you take what you can get sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes
You take what you get, yeah
Yeah!
You take what you get, yeah
You take what you get, yeah
Ooh yeah!
[Bridge]
I know there ain't no cotton on my shirt
But I promise these hands know how to work
Yeah, you're waitin' on white horse, but you get a mustang
I promise these hands know how to work, yeah
Yeah, you take what you can get sometimes
Yeah, you take what you can get sometimes

[Chorus]
Yeah, you take what you can get sometimes
Yeah, you take what you can get sometimes
Shoot for the stars, reach for the sky
That's all good, baby, that's all fine
But you take what you can get sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes
You take what you get, yeah
