I'm Gonna Make It (Without You) Songtext

von Isaac Hayes

Hey lady... lady
Uh I got your message you wanted to talk to me about something
Yea well before you do I... I have something I'd like to tell you
That might save a little time
Now, I know why you called
Cause you figured that uh,
You'd run some more of those funny changes on me
You know, tantilizing me, teasing me
You know, "you can come back"
And the minute that I get my hopes up in the air
You just crash me, you know, just dash me to the floor
Well, you can play all those games now because they don't affect me anymore
I can even think about you and feel no pain
Because I realized, in fact, that it was all game and that
You didn't really care about and if you did
You would've forgiven me and toke me back, you know
But uh, it's a game to you
But I'm a changed man now
Yea, yeaI'm the cat that went to Phoenix
But I got myself together; I don't drink anymore
You notice that I don't shake
I can hold my head up now
And I can look back on the past
And chalk that up as experience
Because, you see, I found out that you're not the only woman in the world
And there's always a woman out there
That'll take a man in her arms and make him forget about the past
And make him look forward to the future
And I got lucky; I stumbled on one

I've finally found somebody
To help me get over you
I've rid myself of all the changes
That you put me through
Now that the worst is over
My life is brand new
I'm gonna make it, I'm gonna make it
Without you, yes I am
Without you, ah yea

Her lips are so much sweeter
And they speak the truth as well
And her love just lifts me higher
(Just think) And I have it all to myself
All my prayers were answered
And my greatest wish has come true
(That's why you hear me say) I'm gonna make it
(I can see clearly now) Yes I'm gonna make it
Without you, aw yea yea yea
Without you, mhmmm

I never thought that I'd love again
That I'd laugh again at all
Once again I'm a man
I can stand once again
Never again will I have to crawl

There's no need in you begging me
To give what we once had another try
Ain't no way! Ain't no way
Cause everything is all over
So you might as well dry your eyes
Cause my heart now belongs to another
And at last I've learn to live without you
That's why I'm gonna make it
I said I'm gonna make it
Without you, aw yes I am
I'm gonna make it without you aw yea

(I'm gonna make it without you)
I've finally found somebody to help me make it
(I'm gonna make it without you)
I've learned to live without you
(I'm gonna make it without you)
Her lips are so much sweeter
(I'm gonna make it without you)
Her embrace is warmer
Her touch is softer
I've learned to live without you
(I'm gonna make it without you)
I know I'm gonna make it!
I know I'm gonna make it without you girl
(I'm gonna make it without you)
My heart belongs to another, aw yea
(I'm gonna make it without you)
You played hard a little too long, yes you did, yes you did
(I'm gonna make it without you)
No more tears
This man won't have to cry
(I'm gonna make it without you)
I can stand once again
(I'm gonna make it without you)
I'm a man once again
I've learned to live without you girl
(I'm gonna make it without you)
I'm gonna make it
I know I'm gonna make it without you
(I'm gonna make it without you)

I've found somebody to talk to me late at night
(I'm gonna make it without you)
Found somebody who knows how to make me feel alright
(I'm gonna make it without you)
That's why I'm gonna make it
She told me I was gonna make it (and she showed me)
(I'm gonna make it without you)
Gonna make it without you
Aw, yes I am
(I'm gonna make it without you)
So bye bye
Tears are too late
(I'm gonna make it without you)
I can meke it, I can make it, I can make it without you
(I'm gonna make it without you)
Oh yes I can
(I'm gonna make it without you)
I'm gonna make it! I'm gonna make it!
(I'm gonna make it without you)
I'm gonna make it! I'm gonna make it!
(I'm gonna make it without you)
I'm gonna make it! I'm gonna make it!
(I'm gonna make it without you)
Gonna make it without you girl
