Lyrics Bonnie Raitt

Bonnie Raitt

What Is Success

How does one decide

That the methods he's using,

They just don't jive

To truly believe and keep trying

Over and over again

Living in hopes,

That someday you'll be in with the winners

When should one change his mind

And jump the fence

For the dollar sign

Its a sad thing, it's a bad thing

But so necessary

That this cold world forces

Your values to become monetary.

(It ain't neccssary)

Oooh, tell me what it is

Success

Oooh, tell me what it is

Sweet success

Now what, what, (i don't know, can you tell me what)

What is success?

Is it do your own thing?

Or to join the rest

And if you truly believe it,

And try over and over again

Living in hopes

That someday you'll be in with the winners

Oooh, tell me what it is

Success

Oooh, tell me what it is

Sweet success
