Aretha Franklin Lyrics
"Right Now (Take 1)"

(Talking)
Man: Well we've got the system on standby.
and when the red light comes on, you go
and if you want to have somebody take up, you take the middle
and have any instrumental
you tell the musicians where you want to have them
Aretha: OK
Aretha: Go?
Man: CO65106, take 1.

(instrumental intro)

Tell me if you love me
Right now
Tell me if you want me
Right now
You make me think you like it
When we kiss
But still you never say so

So if you're only playing
Let's stop
Cause you're nearly blowing my top
I've confessed I'm with you
And if you with me
Baby tell me right now

You've got a smile I love
And you're the style I love
And your caress
Is all my heart is dreaming of

But if you keep stalling
By the time we click
I'll be turning gray
And you'll be walking
With a stick

So if we're gonna make it
Let's start
Cause you're overworking my heart
Now, if you can't say you do and if you don't
You better tell me right now

You've got for one the smile I love
And for two the style I love
And your caress
Is all my heart is dreaming of

But if you keep stalling
By the time we click
I'll be turning gray
And you'll be walking
With a stick

So if we're gonna make it
We've got to start
Cause you're overworking my heart
Now you're the guy that I love
That I can't deny
And all you ever give me
Is just an alibi
And baby I've decided
Now it's do or die
So tell me if you love me, right now
