I’m Gonna Make It This Time Songtext
von Billy Paul

I′m gonna make it this time
I'm gonna make it, make it, this time

When the curtain goes up
And the audience sits down
I′ll be singing and wearing my crown

Because I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna make it
I′m gonna make it this time

I′ve got a lot to give
I've got so much of myself to give
And as long as I live
I have to keep on giving

Because I′m gonna make it
I've told myself before, but I mean it this time, I′m gonna make it
Got to, got to, got to make it, make it
This, this, this time


When the curtain comes up
And the audience sits down
I'll be standing on a mountaintop looking down
Wearing a crown

With a little bit help from my friends, I′m gonna make it
I've told myself before, but I mean it this time, I'm gonna make it
Got to, got to, got to, got to, got to make it
This time, time

I′ve paid my dues
And I know I′m qualified, sanctified, bonafide
I've been trying so damn long
And making so many
And making so many hard years

Only the strong shall survive
And the weak shall fade by the wayside
They say there′s no rest for the weary
But you have to be strong to survive this

You're never ′posed to give up
You're never supposed to give up
Keep on struggling
Make it, make it, make it
Make it to the mountaintop
Make it to the mountaintop
