'cause i've been waiting such a long, long time
now baby or never 'cause i been so good to you
now baby or never 'cause i've been so lonesome, too
now baby or never if i mean anything to you
now baby or never 'cause i've wasted so much time
now baby or never and you must make up your mind
now baby or never it ain't no fault of mine
it's got to be yes or no
it's either you stay or go
you can't leave me on the shelf
you gotta commit yourself
it's either you will, or you won't fall in love with me
i'm gonna call you once more on the telephone
i'll give you till twelve then i'll be gone
now baby or never 'cause i been so good to you
now baby or never i've been so lonesome, too
now baby or never if i mean anything to you
now baby or never 'cause i've wasted so much time
now baby or never and you must make up your mind
now baby or never it ain't no fault of mine
it's got to be yes or no
it's either you stay or go
you can't leave me on the shelf
you gotta commit yourself
it's either you will, or you won't fall in love with me
: it's got to be yes or no
it's either you stay or go
you can't leave me on the shelf
you gotta commit yourself :
it's either you will baby or won't
you do baby or don't
will baby or won't fall in love with me
The song "Now Or Never" by Lisa Ekdahl is a plea from the singer to her lover to finally make a decision about their relationship. She has been waiting for a long time, and she is tired of being left in limbo. The repetition of the phrase "now baby or never" emphasizes her sense of urgency and frustration. She has been good to her lover and feels that she deserves a commitment. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been lonely and has spent a lot of time waiting for her lover to make up their mind.
The repeated refrain of "it's got to be yes or no, it's either you stay or go" underscores the singer's request for a clear answer. She wants her lover to either commit to the relationship or end it definitively. The ultimatum she presents is "it's either you will, or you won't fall in love with me." It is a powerful statement that shows that she is willing to move on if her lover cannot reciprocate her feelings.
Overall, "Now Or Never" is a straightforward song that captures the singer's frustration and desire for clarity. It is a relatable theme that many people can identify with in their own relationships.
