Intro

x2

Oo hoo

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 concern about where you're goin'

 Just a word unto the wise

 You better get to livin'.

Instr.

 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'.

Bridge

(Not sure about this part)

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 And your wardrobe way outdated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'...

Enjoy! :)
