Now, Right Now
Craving the Immediate: A Yearning Anthem by The Reverend Horton Heat
Lyrics
Yeah you, tried to give it to me then,
Reflecting on a past attempt to offer something.
But that, was a long time way back when,
Referring to a distant time in the past.
And you, tried to give it to me again again again,
Highlighting repeated attempts to provide something.
But I didn't want it,
Expressing a lack of desire for what was offered.
I want it now right now right now right now right now right now.
Strongly expressing the current desire for something immediately.
I want it now right now right now right now right now right now.
-Yeah we, could have the sweetest thing,
Imagining the potential for a wonderful relationship.
Yes we, could live what others only sing,
Envisioning a life that others only sing about.
But you, got so very very stuck up all of a sudden,
Noticing a sudden change in the other person's attitude.
It just doesn't make sense.
Expressing confusion about the sudden change.
I want it now right now right now right now right now right now.
Reiterating the strong desire for immediate fulfillment.
I want it now right now right now right now right now right now.
-Yeah I, was really stupid to believe,
Admitting a past naive belief in constancy.
That you, would always be there wanting me,
Expecting consistent affection from the other person.
Now I, beg you please to forgive me forgive me forgive me forgive,
Begging for forgiveness for the perceived mistake.
But you ain't about to do it,
Noticing the other person's unwillingness to forgive.
I want it now right now right now right now right now right now.
Reiterating the intense desire for immediate satisfaction.
Right now right now right now right now right now.
-ain't talkin' about tomorrow,
Emphasizing the focus on the present, not the future.
And I didn't want it the day before,
Clarifying a lack of desire in the past.
So guess when I want it,
Emphatically expressing the current desire for something now.
I want it now!... Right now!... Right now!
-Might never know,
Expressing uncertainty about the future.
And I didn't want it to hurt you.
Clarifying a desire not to cause harm.
I want it now! Yeah!
Reiterating the immediate and strong desire for something.
