DOLLY PARTON - Better Get to Livin' lyrics

rate me

Presently release for I-tunes but will be on an upcoming album.

People always comin' up to me and askin'

"Dolly, what's your secret?

With all you do, your attitude

Just seems to be so good

How do you keep it?"

Well, I'm not the Dalai Lama, but I'll try

To offer up a few words of advice.

Chorus:

You better get to livin', givin'

Don't forget to throw in a little forgivin'

And lovin' on the way

You better get to knowin', showin'

A little bit more concerned about where you're goin'

Just a word unto the wise

You better get to livin'.

A girlfriend came to my house

Started cryin' on my shoulder Sunday evening

She was spinnin' such a sad tale

I could not believe the yarn that she was weavin'

So negative the words she had to say

I said if I had a violin I'd play.

I said you'd better get to livin', givin'

Be willing and forgivin'

Cause all healing has to start with you

You better stop whining, pining

Get your dreams in line

And then just shine, design, refine

Until they come true

And you better get to livin'.

Your life's a wreck, your house is mess

And your wardrobe way outdated

All your plans just keep on falling through

Overweight and under paid, under appreciated

I'm no guru, but I'll tell you

This I know is true.

You better get to livin', givin'

A little more thought about bein'

A little more willin' to make a better way

Don't sweat the small stuff

Keep your chin up

Just hang tough

And if it gets too rough

Fall on your knees and pray

And do that everyday

Then you'll get to livin'.

The day we're born we start to die

Don't waste one minute of this life

Get to livin'

Share your dreams and share your laughter

Make some points for the great hereafter.

Better start carin'

Better start sharin'

Better start tryin'

Better start smiling

And you better get to livin'...
