Not Now
Lyrics by Cory Smith, music by Van Halen (Right Now)
I’d rather wait, 'til tomorrow
I’d rather wait, 'til tomorrow
I put it off, some other date
I put it off, some other date
This is my, little problem
This is my, little problem
I tend, to pro-crastinate, oh!
I tend, to pro-crastinate, oh!
I get behind, I don’t deny it
I get behind, I don’t deny it
Then I have to run, to get even
Then I have to run, to get even
My wife, she says, “I need it done, yesterday! Hey!”
My wife, she says, “I need it done, yesterday! Hey!”
“Come on, hun, get up off the couch”
“Come on, hun, get up off the couch”
Not now
Not now
Wait! until tomorrow
Wait! until tomorrow
Not now
Not now
I’ve got, some time next week
I’ve got, some time next week
Not now
Not now
Can’t it wait for a moment
Can’t it wait for a moment
I’ll do it, just, not right now
I’ll do it, just, not right now
This is my technique
This is my technique
I was late, to my wedding
I was late, to my wedding
I’d made an ho-nest mistake, ohhhh
I’d made an ho-nest mistake, ohhhh
I put off, my one assignment
I put off, my one assignment
I hadn’t or-dered the cake, no
I hadn’t or-dered the cake, no
The more things to do, the more I don’t
The more things to do, the more I don’t
Just tell myself, “Do it later”
Just tell myself, “Do it later”
Work is too hard, I take it easy, woah, she says, “Please”
Work is too hard, I take it easy, woah, she says, “Please”
“Come on, get up off the couch”
“Come on, get up off the couch”
Not now
Not now
Wait! until tomorrow
Wait! until tomorrow
Not now
Not now
I’ve got, some time next week
I’ve got, some time next week
Not now
Not now
Can’t it wait for a moment
Can’t it wait for a moment
I’ll do it, just, not right now
I’ll do it, just, not right now
This is my technique
This is my technique
The flesh is weak
The flesh is weak
Not now
Not now
What am I waitin' for?
What am I waitin' for?
Ohhhh-oh
Ohhhh-oh
Yeah
Yeah
Not now!
Not now!
[Solo]

Not now
Not now
Wait! until tomorrow
Wait! until tomorrow
Not now
Not now
I’ve got, some time next week
I’ve got, some time next week
Not now
Not now
Can’t it wait for a moment
Can’t it wait for a moment
I’ll do it, just, not right now
I’ll do it, just, not right now
Ohhh, not now!
Ohhh, not now!
It's not happening
It's not happening
Not here, not now
Not here, not now
Not now
Not now
Not right now
Not right now
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
She says, “What are you waiting for?”
She says, “What are you waiting for?”
“Get up off the couch”
“Get up off the couch”
