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 will 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, to, to, to
Make it, make it
This, this, this time


When the curtain goes up,
And the audience sits down,
I will be standing on a mountain top, looking down
And wearing a crown.

With a little help from my friends, I am gonna make it,
I′ve told myself before, but I mean it this time,
I'm gonna make it

Got to, to, to, to
Make it,
This time, time

I′ve paid my dues,
And I know I qualify, sanctify, 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 is no rest for the weary,
But you have to be strong to survive this,


You are never supposed to give up,
You are never supposed to give up,
Keep on struggling,
Make it, make it,
Make it to the mountain top,
Make it to the mountain top,
Make it to the mountain top,
