This Time It's For Real

Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes

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
