Right Now (Take 1)

Aretha Franklin · Take A Look: Complete On Columbia [2011]

(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
