The band released three albums: "Spring Session M" (1982), "Rhyme & Reason" (1984) and "Color in Your Life" (1986). The band split in 1986 and the band members moved on to other projects. Warren Cuccurullo became the guitarist for Duran Duran and Dale Bozzio and Patrick O'Hearn each pursued solo careers. Terry Bozzio toured as the drummer for several rock musicians, including Steve Vai, Dweezil Zappa and Jeff Beck and later formed his own solo band.
Warren, Dale and Terry reformed Missing Persons in 2001 and performed several concerts throughout the United States. Terry Bozzio left the band in late 2001, and the band continued until 2003.
Cuccurullo and Dale Bozzio reformed Missing Persons once again in 2011 for a reunion tour.
As of 2013, Cuccurullo is no longer touring with Missing Persons. According to Dale Bozzio at the Tiki Room show in Costa Mesa, CA, Warren is suing the band for the image on their Spring Session M album. Terry Bozzio has changed drastically in appearance with much longer hair, a different colour (it used to be black) when compared to the Terry Bozzio Official page on Facebook. The keyboard player currently touring with them is Michael T. Ross who has also played with Lita Ford and Angel.
Right Now
Missing Persons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The one that makes me wonder why
You could be wanting and needing
But then again these feelings
Could it be I'm dreaming
It's in the way that you stand when you're near to me
It's in the tone of your voice when you talk to me
And I really want you to want me too
Right now
I'm only guessing, so let me know
Right now
Don't keep me guessing
Imagination maybe, seems like it's running away with me
So make it clear for my sake this is no time for mistakes
Please don't hesitate
At times you seem to let on and then you pull away
Just give me some kind of chance I know you wanna play
Or could it be that I'm the one that's wanting you
And I really want you to want me too
Right now I'm only guessing
And right now, I don't know if you're for real
So let me know
Right now - right now
Don't keep me guessing - don't keep me guessing
I need to know
Right now - right now
Show me the way you feel - show me the way
Right now
I'm only guessing, so let me know
Right now
Don't keep me guessing
Imagination maybe, seems like it's running away with me
So make it clear for my sake this is no time for mistakes
Please don't hesitate
At times you seem to let on and then you pull away
Just give me some kind of chance I know you wanna play
Dontcha know that I'm the one
Dontcha know that I'm the one
Dontcha know that I'm the one
Dontcha know that I'm the one
Dontcha know that I'm the one that's wanting you
And I really want you to want me too
Right now - right now
I'm only guessing - I'm only guessing
And right now - right now
I don't know if you're for real - I don't know if
So let me know
Right now - right now
Don't keep me guessing - don't keep me guessing
I need to know
Right now - right now
Show me the way you feel - show me the way
Right now - right now
Right now - right now
Right now
The lyrics of "Right Now" by Missing Persons convey a sense of uncertainty and longing. The singer is drawn to someone who may or may not reciprocate their feelings. The opening lines suggest that the person's look is ambiguous - it could either indicate interest or not. The singer is unsure of their own feelings as well, wondering if it could be all in their imagination. As the verse progresses, the lyrics highlight the subtle ways in which the person's behavior changes when they are around the singer. The chorus emphasizes the singer's desire for clarity - they do not want to be kept guessing about the other person's intentions. The bridge further emphasizes the uncertainty in the situation - the other person seems to give mixed signals. The chorus repeats, with the singer pleading for the other person to show their true feelings.

She's under five feet tall - more like legs for minutes.
But yes, proportionately - the perfect build.
