This Time It's For Real
Southside Johnny The Asbury Jukes Lyrics

Baby, you can't slow me down
I am unstoppable and nothing can deter me from achieving my goals.

I've come too far to ever turn back now
I have gone too far to back down now. It's too late to turn away from my dreams.

I've spent my whole life working
I have worked tirelessly all my life to get to where I am today.

Working so hard for it, yes I did
I worked hard and persevered to achieve everything I have today.

Baby, I changed the odds today
I have taken control of the situation and made things work in my favor.

Gonna push the scales, baby, till they tilt my way
I will do everything in my power to make sure that the outcome works in my favor.

Pass that bottle, deal the cards
I am ready to take risks and live life on the edge to achieve what I desire.

'Cause I ain't waiting no more, no more
I am not going to wait for anyone or anything to come my way. I will make it happen on my own.

You can say what you want to
People can say whatever they want to about me, but it won't stop me from pursuing my goals.

But there ain't nothing gonna change my mind
No matter what people say, I am convinced that I am on the right path and I won't be swayed.

Baby, this time it's for real
This is not a test, I am serious about my goals and I will achieve them no matter what.

I know, I know it, baby
I am confident in my abilities and I know that I will succeed.

It's got to be real, baby
Success is not an option, it's a necessity. I must succeed at all costs.

The time has come and I've paid the bill
I have put in the work and the effort to achieve my dreams, and now it's time to reap the rewards.

I'll keep the glass raised 'till my cup is filled
I will celebrate my achievements and keep working until I have reached all of my goals.

I'm gonna keep on shaking
I won't stop working and taking risks until I have achieved everything I desire.

'Till it all comes tumblin' down
I will push myself to the limit and take risks until I have achieved everything I want, even if it means risking it all.

Baby, don't give me no advice
I don't need anyone's advice, I know what I'm doing and I will make it happen on my own.

Gonna shoot it all, baby, on a roll of the dice
I will take risks and live life on the edge to achieve my goals, even if it means gambling everything I have.

When you start with nothing
I started from the bottom, with nothing to my name, and I have worked hard to get where I am today.

You ain't got nothing to lose
When you start with nothing, you have nothing to lose by taking risks to achieve your goals.

You can do what you want to
People can make their own choices, but I have chosen to pursue my goals and nothing can stop me.

But there ain't nothing gonna stop me now
No obstacle or challenge can stop me from achieving my goals. I am determined to succeed.

You can stay if you want to
People are free to be a part of my journey, but their presence or absence won't affect my goals in any way.

It don't make a bit of difference to me
Whether people stay or go, it won't affect my determination to achieve my goals.

I know it's got to be real now
I am confident that my goals will become a reality because I am willing to work hard for them.

I know it this time, baby
I am more confident than ever that my success is inevitable because of my hard work and dedication.

Got to be, got to be real
Success is the only option, and it will be real because of my hard work and dedication.

I know it
I am confident that my hard work and dedication will pay off and I will achieve all of my goals.

It's got to be, got to be real
There is no other option but to succeed, and my hard work and commitment will make success a reality.
