Now Or Never
Amely Lyrics

Say

Oh, baby, why you talking to me?
Why you talking to me?
You're crazy, I'm taken
Is it so hard to see?

Oh, baby, you've got so much to say
You've got so much to say
You've gone too far
And I think that she might have seen you look my way

And you tell me you want me, you need me again
But I can't speak those words
Girl, I just cannot let you in
And I said

I wanna know the way you're thinking
Tell me the way I feel is right
I wanna take a risk worth taking and just come alive
This is it, we're alone, it's just me and you
But it doesn't feel right
Cause it's now or it's never she says with me tonight

Oh, baby, you've got me weak in the knees
You've got me weak in the knees
And I'm feeling kind of nervous
So I think I gonna ask you to leave

But you tell me you want me, you need me again
But I can't speak those words
Girl, I just cannot let you in

I wanna know the way you're thinking
Tell me the way I feel is right
I wanna take a risk worth taking and just come alive
This is it, we're alone, it's just me and you
But it doesn't feel right
Cause it's now or it's never she says

And I could live my whole life without a goodbye
Now it's time to forget
All those nights alone, we spent so close
We'll leave behind tonight

I wanna know the way you're thinking
Tell me the way I feel is right
I wanna take a risk worth taking and just come alive
And I said

I wanna know the way you're thinking
Tell me the way I feel is right
I wanna take a risk worth taking and just come alive
This is it, we're alone, it's just me and you
But it doesn't feel right
Cause it's now or it's never she says (With me tonight)
Cause it's now or it's never she says (With me tonight)




Cause it's now or it's never she says
With me tonight
