Get URL of current post but not the page number

Question

Instead of using a plugin, I am manually adding buttons into my template file, like so:

<div class="fb-like" data-href="<?php get_permalink() ?>" data-width="100" data-layout="button_count" data-show-faces="false" data-send="false"></div>

However, when I have a multipage post, I don't want that the like button links to /the/post/2 on the second page, but to /the/post (i.e. the first page). I have been looking through the docs but there doesn't seem to be a way to get permalink of the post, without the page number. Can anyone help?

I don't think your code works as expected because you are not printing the URL of the post. Note that get_permalink() returns the permalink of current post inside a loop but doesn't print it like the_permalink(). So, you should use <?php echo get_permalink(); ?> or <?php the_permalink(); ?>.
