Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Listen to me, baby, and listen real good
You know you're not treating me as good as you should
Every time I call you here by my side
You have some excuse and I want to know why
[Verse 2]
Right now and not later, baby
Right now and not later
'Cause later may be too late
And I gotta know right now
I mean right now and not later, baby
Right now and not later, baby
[Verse 3]
There's something wrong and it's starting to show
An' I don't wanna be the last to know
So, if there's someone else standing in our way
Then I think there's somethin' that you ought to say
[Verse 4]
Right now and not later, baby
Right now and not later
'Cause later may be too late
And I gotta know right now
I mean right now and not later, baby
Right now and not later, baby
[Verse 5]
If we can't be lovers we can still be friends
'Cause life goes on, even through love ends
Boy, if you still want romance
Baby, I'll give you just one more chance
[Verse 6]
Right now and not later, baby
Right now and not later
'Cause later may be too late
And I gotta know right now
I mean right now and not later, baby
Right now and not later, baby
[Verse 7]
Right now and not later, baby
Right now and not later, baby
Right now and not later, baby
