Isaac Hayes

I'm Gonna Make It (Without You)

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

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

I'm gonna make it, I'm gonna make it

Without you, yes I am (Without you)

Without you, oh yeah

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'

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

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

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)

I'm gonna make it without you, girl
