Otis Redding - New Year's Resolution Lyrics

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 leaf
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 women make 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 (we both 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
We can let the whole wide world know what we're doing, baby
Ooh, it's not too late
You've got to love me
Nobody else
Otis let's finish what we started (love me)
Talk to only me
Mm, I want you to do ('cause I didn't let you say I'm sorry)
And I'll do the same for you, honey
Call it a New Year's resolution
And we're gonna call this (we're gonna)
Our New Year's resolution, baby (turn over a new leaf, baby)
It'll be our new year
