Billy Preston
Make It With You (Live at Fillmore West, 1971)
[Intro]
If you came and didn't come with anybody
Perhaps you might want to turn around and say to the next person
[Verse 1]
Hey, have you ever tried
Really reaching out for the other side
I may be climbing on a rainbow
But baby, here goes (Baby, here goes)
[Chorus]
Dreams are for those who sleep
Life, life is for us to keep
And if I had just one to see me through
Hey baby, I want to make it with you
(I really think that we could make it)
Yes I do (Make it, baby)
(I really think that we could make it)
I sure do (Make it, baby)
[Verse 2]
No, no, you don't know me well
Listen baby, in every little thing only time will tell
And if you do the things that I do
I'm gon' try my best to see you through (Make it through)
Yeah
[Chorus]
Life, life is for us to keep
Dreams are for those who sleep
And if I had just one to see me through, woo-hoo
I wanna make it with you
(I really think that we could make it)
Yes I do (Make it, baby)
(I really think that we could make it)
Sure do (Make it, baby)
[Bridge]
Hey, come on over here and let me whisper something in your ear
Uh-huh, uh-huh, that's right
Mhm, mhm, mhm
Oh, no, no, no, you don't know me well
In every little thing only time will tell
[Chorus]
And if I had just one, just one
Just one little thing to do
Hey baby, I wanna make it with you
(I really think that we could make it)
You're killing me (Make it, baby)
Ah baby (I really think that we could make it)
I sure do (Make it, baby)
Baby, I think (I really think that we could make it)
Hey (Make it, baby)
Choose me, choose me (I really think that we could make it)
Oh... (Make it, baby)
[Outro]
I wanna make it
Choose me, baby
Won't you choose me, baby
I got to make it
If not now then later, some other time
But I've got to make it with you
