(S. Van Zandt)

|
Baby, you can't slow me down
|
I've come too far to ever turn back now
|
I've spent my whole life working
|
Working so hard for it, yes I did
|
|
Baby, I changed the odds today
|
Gonna push the scales, baby, till they tilt my way
|
Pass that bottle, deal the cards
|
'Cause I ain't waiting no more, no more
|
|
You can say what you want to
|
But there ain't nothing gonna change my mind
|
|
Baby, this time it's for real
|
I know, I know it, baby
|
This time it's for real
|
It's got to be real, baby
|
|
The time has come and I've paid the bill
|
I'll keep the glass raised 'till my cup is filled
|
I'm gonna keep on shaking
|
'Till it all comes tumblin' down
|
Yes I will, baby
|
|
Baby, don't give me no advice
|
Gonna shoot it all, baby, on a roll of the dice
|
When you start with nothing
|
You ain't got nothing to lose
|
Listen, baby
|
|
Well you can do what you want to
|
But there ain't nothing gonna stop me now
|
|
Baby, this time it's for real
|
I know, I know it baby
|
This time it's for real
|
I said, said come on
|
Got to be, baby
|
|
You can stay if you wanna
|
It don't make a bit of difference to me
|
|
Baby, this time it's for real
|
I know, I know it baby
|
This time it's for real
|
|
I know it's got to be real now
|
I know it this time, baby
|
I know it, come on, baby
|
I know, I know, I know it
|
Baby, this time it's for real
|
I know it's got to be real
|
Got to be, got to be real
|
I know it
|
It's got to be, got to be real
