Karaoké Better Get to Livin' Dolly Parton

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

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'

Here's a word unto the wise you better get to livin' ah ah ah

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'

'Cos 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 a 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And your wardrobe way outdated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', ah ah

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 here after

Better start carin' better start sharin'

Better start tryin' better start smiling

And you better get to livin'
