Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes - This Time It's For Real lyrics

rate me

(S. Van Zandt)

Baby, you can't slow me down

I've come too far to ever turn back now

I've spent my whole life working

Working so hard for it, yes I did

Baby, I changed the odds today

Gonna push the scales, baby, till they tilt my way

Pass that bottle, deal the cards

'Cause I ain't waiting no more, no more

You can say what you want to

But there ain't nothing gonna change my mind

Baby, this time it's for real

I know, I know it, baby

This time it's for real

It's got to be real, baby

The time has come and I've paid the bill

I'll keep the glass raised 'till my cup is filled

I'm gonna keep on shaking

'Till it all comes tumblin' down

Yes I will, baby

Baby, don't give me no advice

Gonna shoot it all, baby, on a roll of the dice

When you start with nothing

You ain't got nothing to lose

Listen, baby

Well you can do what you want to

But there ain't nothing gonna stop me now

Baby, this time it's for real

I know, I know it baby

This time it's for real

I said, said come on

Got to be, baby

You can stay if you wanna

It don't make a bit of difference to me

Baby, this time it's for real

I know, I know it baby

This time it's for real

I know it's got to be real now

I know it this time, baby

I know it, come on, baby

I know, I know, I know it

Baby, this time it's for real

I know it's got to be real

Got to be, got to be real

I know it

It's got to be, got to be real
