MAKE IT WITH YOU
McLean Bitty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey have you ever tried,
Really reaching out for the other side?
I maybe climbing on rainbows
But, baby here goes.
Dreams there for those who sleep,
Life is for us to keep,
And if you're wond'ring
What this song is leading to
I want to make it with you
I really think that we can make it girl.
No, you don't know me well,
'N' ev'ry little thing only time will tell,
But you believe the things that I do.
And we'll see it through.
Life can be short or long,
Love can be right or wrong,
And if I chose the one
I'd like to help me through,
I'd like to make it with you
I really think that we can make it girl.
Baby you know that
Dreams they're for those who sleep,
Life is for us to keep
And if I chose the one
I'd like to help me through,




I'd like to make it with you
I really think that we can make it girl.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of McLean Bitty's song "Make It With You" recount a hopeful, optimistic message about the value of dream-chasing and the power of love. The song begins with the singer posing a rhetorical question: "Hey, have you ever tried / Really reaching out for the other side?" To the singer, the "other side" represents the fulfillment of their dreams and desires. They continue, acknowledging that society encourages people to sleep ("Dreams are for those who sleep"), leaving those who dare to chase their dreams to navigate a challenging, high-risk landscape ("I maybe climbing on rainbows / But, baby here goes").


The singer then shifts their attention to the love interest they address as "girl." The singer expresses hope and confidence in their relationship, noting that "Life can be short or long / Love can be right or wrong." The use of conditional phrases demonstrates the singer's recognition of the possibility of failure or disappointment, but they refuse to dwell on the negative outcomes. Instead, they focus on their belief in their love, stating "But you believe the things that I do / And we'll see it through." They end the verse with the declaration, "I really think that we can make it girl."

Bitty McLean Rides again. His music echoes loud and clear. Wow. Imagine yourself holding a cold glass of Jamaican rum on your VERANDAH sitting in your rocking chair legs crossed with a ganja split in the next hand: you puff and sip as Bitty McLean beaches out from your home speakers. Man life is good as you reminisced on past love.
