[Dolly Parton - Get To Livin’ lyrics]
People always coming up to me
And asking "Dolly what's your secret?
With all you do your attitude just seems
To be so good how do you keep it?
Well am not the Dalai Lama but ill try
To Offer up a few word of advice
You'd better get to living, Givin'
Don't forget to throw in a little forgiving'
And lovin' on the way
You'd better get knowing, showing
A little bit more concerned
About where you're going
Just a word unto the wise
You'd better get to livin'
A girlfriend came to my house
Started cryin' on my shoulder
Sunday evening (Better Get To Living)
She's she was spinnin' such a
Sad tale I couldn't believe
The yarn that she was waving'
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 living, give in
Be willing and forgivin'
Cos our healin' has to start with you
You Better stop wining, pining
Get your dreams in line and just
Shine, Design, Refine until They Come True
And you'd better get to living
Your life's a wreck your house is a mess
And your wardrobe is way outdated
All your plans just keep on falling through
Overweight and underpaid underappreciated
Am no guru but I tell you this I know is true
You'd better get to living, givin'
A little more thought about been
A little more willing
To make a better way (make a better Way)
Don't sweat the small stuff
Keep your chin up
Just hang tough, and If it get too rough
Fall on your knees and pray
And do that everyday
Then you'll get to livin'
The day were born we start to die
So don't waste one minute of this life
Get to livin! (Get to livin')
Share your dreams and share your
Laughter and Make some points
For the great hereafter (Get to Livin')
Better start caring better start sharing
Better start tryin' better start smilin'
And asking "Dolly what's your secret?
With all you do your attitude just seems
To be so good how do you keep it?
Well am not the Dalai Lama but ill try
To Offer up a few word of advice
You'd better get to living, Givin'
Don't forget to throw in a little forgiving'
And lovin' on the way
You'd better get knowing, showing
A little bit more concerned
About where you're going
Just a word unto the wise
You'd better get to livin'
