[00:19.65]People always comin' up to me and askin'
[00:22.86]"Dolly, what's your secret?
[00:25.57]
[00:28.80]With all you do, your attitude
[00:30.97]Just seems to be so good
[00:32.93]How do you keep it?"
[00:34.65]
[00:37.88]Well, I'm not the Dalai Lama, but I'll try
[00:42.85]To offer up a few words of advice.
[00:46.74]
[00:47.38]You better get to livin', givin'
[00:51.13]Don't forget to throw in a little forgivin'
[00:54.64]And lovin' on the way
[00:57.79]You better get to knowin', showin'
[01:00.55]A little bit more concerned about where you're goin'
[01:04.09]Just a word unto the wise
[01:07.03]You better get to livin'.
[01:10.29]
[01:17.43]A girlfriend came to my house
[01:19.29]Started cryin' on my shoulder Sunday evening
[01:22.77]
[01:25.59]She was spinnin' such a sad tale
[01:28.12]I could not believe the yarn that she was weavin'
[01:32.59]
[01:35.57]So negative the words she had to say
[01:40.10]I said if I had a violin I'd play.
[01:44.39]
[01:44.67]I said you'd better get to livin', givin'
[01:47.58]Be willing and forgivin'
[01:49.63]Cause all healing has to start with you
[01:53.96]You better stop whining, pining
[01:56.81]Get your dreams in line
[01:58.62]And then just shine, design, refine
[02:01.41]Until they come true
[02:02.98]
[02:03.33]And you better get to livin'.
[02:05.84]
[02:06.96]Your life's a wreck, your house is mess
[02:08.77]And your wardrobe way outdated
[02:11.64]All your plans just keep on falling through
[02:15.95]Overweight and under paid, under appreciated
[02:20.55]I'm no guru, but I'll tell you
[02:23.10]This I know is true.
[02:24.48]
[02:24.85]You better get to livin', givin'
[02:27.56]A little more thought about bein'
[02:29.61]A little more willin' to make a better way
[02:34.08]Don't sweat the small stuff
[02:35.85]Keep your chin up
[02:36.97]Just hang tough
[02:38.12]And if it gets too rough
[02:39.94]Fall on your knees and pray
[02:44.14]And do that everyday
[02:48.57]Then you'll get to livin'.
[02:50.95]
[02:58.21]The day we're born we start to die
[03:00.41]Don't waste one minute of this life
[03:03.04]Get to livin'
[03:07.71]Share your dreams and share your laughter
[03:10.08]Make some points for the great hereafter.
[03:14.24]
[03:16.84]Better start carin'
[03:17.95]Better start sharin'
[03:19.03]Better start tryin'
[03:20.20]Better start smiling
[03:21.50]And you better get to livin'...
