Dolly Parton - Afraid to Love and Afraid of Dying Lyrics

(Porter Wagoner)

They say most anything you eat could hurt your health
Be careful what you drink don't harm yourself
And pollution in the air might make you sick
Makes you afraid to live afraid that you might die too quick.

Do the men that quote this danger really know
Life is gift to be enjoyed and not to worry so
The biggest danger sign that we should know
Make sure we're right with God as through this world we go.

--- Instrumental ---

We're afraid to live cause we're afraid of dying
And afraid to love the one we love afraid they might be lying
We can't enjoy life when they say each thing might bring an early grave
We're afraid to live cause we're afraid of dying.

Do the men that quote this danger really know
Life is gift to be enjoyed and not to worry so
The biggest danger sign that we should know
Make sure we're right with God as through this world we go.

Make sure we're right with God as through this world we go...
