Lyrics Otis Redding

Otis Redding

New Year's Resolution

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

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, hmm

Oh, I'm a woman

And woman makes mistakes too

But will you, will you forget the changes

That I put you through?

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

Many times we had our ups and downs

And times you needed me I couldn't be found

I'm sorry

And I'm sorry too

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

So baby before we fall out

Let's fall on in, yeah, yeah

Oh, and we're gonna try harder

Not to hurt each other again, oh

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

I know we can do it Carla

I'm gonna keep my promises

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

Oh, it's not too late

You're gonna love me

Nobody else

Oh, Otis let's finish what we started

Talk no mean
