Otis Redding - New Year's Resolution lyrics

( Catron & Frierson )

Otis Redding :

I hope it's not too late
Just to say that I'm sorry, honey
All I want to do
Is just finish what we started, baby

Otis Redding & Carla Thomas :
Let's turn over a new leave
And baby let's make promises
That we can keep
And call it a new year's resolution, hmmm

Carla Thomas :
Oh, I'm a woman
And woman makes mistakes too
But will you, will you forget the changes
That I put you through

Otis Redding & Carla Thomas :
Oh, let's try it again
Just you and me
And, baby, let's see how happy honey, yeah
That we can be
And call it a new year's resolution, yeah, yeah, yeah

Otis Redding :
Many times we had our ups and downs

Carla Thomas :
And times you needed me I couldn't be found

Otis Redding :
I'm sorry

Carla Thomas :
And I'm sorry too

Otis Redding :
I'll never, never do it again, no, no, no
So baby before we fall out
Let's fall on in, yeah, yeah

Carla Thomas :
Oh, and we're gonna try harder
Not to hurt each other again, oh

Otis Redding & Carla Thomas :
Love me baby, huh
Week after week
And baby let's make promises
That we can keep
And call it a new year's resolution, yeah, oh

Otis Redding :
I know we can do it Carla

Carla Thomas :
I'm gonna keep my promises

Otis Redding :
I'm gonna hold on that we can do it, baby

Carla Thomas :
Oh, it's not too late

Otis Redding :
You're gonna love me
Nobody else

Carla Thomas :
Oh Otis let's finish what we started

Otis Redding :
Talk no mean...
