Not Now

Lyrics by Cory Smith, music by Van Halen (Right Now)

I’d rather wait, 'til tomorrow

I put it off, some other date

This is my, little problem

I tend, to pro-crastinate, oh!

I get behind, I don’t deny it

Then I have to run, to get even

My wife, she says, “I need it done, yesterday! Hey!”

“Come on, hun, get up off the couch”


Not now

Wait! until tomorrow

Not now

I’ve got, some time next week 

Not now

Can’t it wait for a moment

I’ll do it, just, not right now

This is my technique


I was late, to my wedding

I’d made an ho-nest mistake, ohhhh

I put off, my one assignment

I hadn’t or-dered the cake, no

The more things to do, the more I don’t 

Just tell myself, “Do it later”

Work is too hard, I take it easy, woah, she says, “Please”

“Come on, get up off the couch”


Not now

Wait! until tomorrow

Not now

I’ve got, some time next week 

Not now

Can’t it wait for a moment

I’ll do it, just, not right now

This is my technique


The flesh is weak

Not now

What am I waitin' for?

Ohhhh-oh

Yeah

Not now!


[Solo]


Not now

Wait! until tomorrow

Not now

I’ve got, some time next week 

Not now

Can’t it wait for a moment

I’ll do it, just, not right now

Ohhh, not now!


It's not happening

Not here, not now

Not now

Not right now

Oh-oh

She says, “What are you waiting for?”

“Get up off the couch”
