I’m Gonna Make It (Without You)

[Intro]
Hey lady, lady
Um, I got your message
You wanna talk to me about about something?
Yeah, but before you do, uh
I have something I'd like tell you
That might save a little time
Now I know why you called me
'Cause you figured that, uh
Been rushin' one of those funny changes on me, you know
Tantalizin', teasin' me, you know
You can come back in a minute
And I get my hopes up in the air
You just crash, you know, just dash into the floor
Well, you can play all those games now
'Cause they don't affect me anymore
I can even feel about you and feel no pain
Because I realize, in fact, that it was all a game
And you didn't really care about me if you did forgiven me
And took me back, you know
But, uh, it's a game to you
But I'm a changed man now, yeah
Yeah I'm the cat that went to Phoenix
But I got myself together
I don't drink anymore, you noticed that I don't shake
I hold my head up now, and I can look back on the past
And chalk it up as experience
Because, you see
I found out you not the only woman in the world
And there's always a woman out there
That'll take a man's arms and make him forget about the past
And begin to look forward to the future
And I got lucky, I stumbled on one

[Verse 1]
I 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
And my life is brand new

[Chorus]
I'm gonna make it, I'm gonna make it
Without you, yes I am (Without you)
Without you, oh yeah

[Verse 2]
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 sayin'

[Chorus]
I'm gonna make it, I can see clearly now (I'm gonna make it)
Yes I'm gonna make it without you
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah (Without you)
Without you, mmm hmm

[Verse 3]
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 would I have to crawl
There's no need in you beggin' me
To give what we once had another try
Ain't a 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 learned to live without you
That's why

[Chorus]
I'm gonna make it, I said that I'm gonna make it
(I'm gonna make it)
Without you, oh yes I am (Without you)
I'm gonna make it without you, oh yeah
(I'm gonna make it without you)
I finally found somebody
To help me make it
(I'm gonna make it without you)
I've learned to live without you, yes I have, yes I have
(I'm gonna make it without you)
Her lips are so much sweeter
Embrace is warmer
(I'm gonna make it without you)
Her touch is softer, you see 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, oh yeah
(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 a man once again
(I'm gonna make it without you)
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)
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 when she showed me
(I'm gonna make it without you)
Gonna make it without you, oh yes I am
(I'm gonna make it without you)
So bye bye, tears a little too late
(I'm gonna make it without you)
I can make 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)

[Outro]
I'm gonna make it without you, girl
