I was told a
million times
Of all the troubles in my way
Tried to grow a little wiser
Little better every day
But if I crossed a million rivers
And I rode a million miles
Then I'd still be where I started
Bread and butter for a smile
Well I sold a million mirrors
In a shop in Alley Way
But I never saw my face
In any window any day
Well they say your folks are telling you
To be a superstar
But I tell you just be satisfied
To stay right where you are
Keep
yourself alive keep yourself alive
It'll take you all your time and a money
Honey you'll survive
Well
I've loved a million women
In a belladonic haze
And I ate a million dinners
Brought to me on silver trays
Give me evrything I need
To feed my body and my soul
And I'll grow a little bigger
Maybe that can be my goal
I was told a million times
Of all the people in my way
How I had to keep on trying
And get better ev'ry day
But if I crossed a million rivers
And I rode a million miles
Then I'd still be where I started
Still be where I started
Keep
yourself alive keep yourself alive
It'll take you all your time and a money
Honey you'll survive
Keep
yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
It'll take you all your time and a money
To keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive keep yoursel alive
It'll take you all youe time and money
To keep my satisfied
Keep yourself alive keep yourself alive
All you people, keep yourself alive
Take you all your time and money
Honey , you will survive
Keep yourself alive
Keep yourself alive
