People ask me questions 'bout the way I live my life
Thirty years in showbiz and I only had one wife
Limousines and swimmin' pools I didn't get my share

But I'm not downhearted
I'm not downhearted
I'm not downhearted
But I'm gettin' there
But I'm gettin' there
Yes I'm gettin' there

Did you ever get the feelin' you've been taken for a ride
The big ones eat the little ones and there's nowhere left to hide
So just don't drink the water, try not to drink the [?]

I'm not disillusioned
No I'm not disillusioned
I'm not disillusioned
But I'm gettin' there
Yes I'm gettin' there
But I'm gettin' there
Yeah

No matter how I'm feelin', I still propose a toast
If you're almost success, you're better off than most
So if I was sellin' fantasy I would be a millionaire

But I'm not downhearted
I'm not downhearted
No I'm not downhearted
But I'm gettin' there
I'm gettin' there
Yes I'm gettin' there

No I'm not downhearted
But I'm gettin' there
