New Year’s Resolution Songtext
von Otis Redding & Carla Thomas

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


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
Love me, talk holding me
This is I wanted to give, darling
The same for you honey
And call it a new year′s resolution
