Oo hoo
[Verse]
EPeople always comin' up to me and askin'
"Dolly  what's your sAecret?
With Eall you do  your attitude
Just seems to be so good
How do you kAeep it?"
Well  I'm nBot the Dalai Lama  but I'll tA/Dry
To ofBfer up a few words of advA/Dice.
[Chorus]
You better get to liEvin'  gAivin'
BDon't forget to throw in a little forEgivin'
And loAvin' on the wBay
You better get to knEowin'  shAowin'
BA little bit more concern about where you're gA/Doin'
Just a word untBo the wise
You better get to liEvin'.

[Verse]
A Egirlfriend came to my house
Started cryin' on my shoulder Sunday eAvening
She was spEinnin' such a sad tale
I could not believe the yarn that she was wAeavin'
BSo negative the words she had to A/Dsay
I said iBf I had a violin I'd pA/Dlay.
I said you'd better get to liEvin'  giAvin'
Be wilBling and forgivin'
Cause all heEaling hAas to start with yBou
You better stop whEining  piAning
BGet your dreams in line
And then just sEhine  design  reAfine
Until they Bcome true
And you better get to liEvin'.

Don't sweat the sEmall stuff
Keep your cAhin up
Just haBng tough
And if it gets too rough
Fall oA/Dn your knees and prBay
And dA/Do that everByday
Then you'll get to liEvin'.
The daEy we're born we stAart to die
Don't waBste one minute oA/Df this life

Better start caErin'
Better start shAarin'
Better start trByin'
Better start smEiling
And you Abetter Bget to liEvin'...
