New Year's Resolution

Otis Redding

O: 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



O + C: 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



C: Oh, I'm a woman

And woman makes mistakes too

But will you, will you forget the changes

That I put you through



O + C: 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



O: Many times we had our ups and downs

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

O: I'm sorry

C: And I'm sorry too

O: I'll never, never do it again, no, no, no

So baby before we fall out

Let's fall on in, yeah, yeah

C: Oh, and we're gonna try harder

Not to hurt each other again, oh



O + C: 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



O: I know we can do it Carla

C: I'm gonna keep my promises

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

C: Oh, it's not too late

O: You're gonna love me

Nobody else

C: Oh Otis let's finish what we started

O: Talk no mean...
