Make It With You
Supremes · Promises Kept [2006]
(David Gates)
Hey have you ever tried
Ever reaching out to the other side?
I may be climbing on rainbows
But baby, here goes
Dreams are for those who sleep
Like it's for us to keep
And if you're wondering what this song is leading to,
I wanna make it with you
I really think that we can make it
(I really, really think we can make it, boy)
No (No, no), you don't know me well (You don't know me well)
Every little thing only time will tell
If you believe the things that I do,
Then we'll see it through
Life can be short or long
Love can be right or wrong
And if I had to choose the one who see me through,
Ohh, I wanna make it with you
I really think that we can make it, baby
(Oooh, ooooh)
[interlude]
Honey, honey
Baby, baby, baby
Dreams are for those who sleep
Like it's for us to keep
And if I had to choose the one who see me through,
Ohh, I like to make it with you
I really think that we can make it
We can make it
I like make it with you, oooh
I like to make it with you
We can make it, boy
I like to make it with you...
Hey have you ever tried

I may be climbing on rainbows
But baby, here goes

I wanna make it with you
I really think that we can make it

No (No, no), you don't know me well (You don't know me well)

Make It With You
Recorded by The Supremes on the 1970s compilation Promises Kept, "Make It With You" exemplifies the group's signature R&B and soul sound. As a staple of their discography, the track showcases Diana Ross's vocal prowess and the ensemble's tight harmonies characteristic of Motown's golden era. Released alongside other classic tracks like "Baby Love" and "You Only Miss Me When You See Me," the song reinforces the group's status as one of the most successful acts in music history. Its enduring appeal lies in its timeless melody and the seamless blend of pop and soul that defined their catalog during the 1960s and 1970s.
