(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
