Not Now (I’ll Tell You Later) Songtext
von The Temptations

Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Everybody sing now
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo, doo, hey

When my dad thought I had become of age
He said, "Son, you′re getting to the lovin' stage"
I said, "Oh yeah, oh yeah"
It′s time you stopped being all alone
You've got to find a girl you can call your own
I said, "Not now, I'll tell you later
Not now, I′ll tell you when
Not now, I′ll tell you later
When I'm gonna fall in love"

Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo, doo, hey


I met a little girl, fine as could be
I said, "Dad, there′s the girl who was made for me"
I said, "Oh yeah, oh yeah"
I thought if I tried, I just couldn't miss
So I asked the little girl for just one lil′ kiss
She said, "Not now, I'll tell you later
Not now, I′ll tell you when
Not now, I'll tell you later
When I'm gonna fall in love"

When it′s time for you to fall in love
It don′t make sense for you to hurry
Take your time and make up your mind
'Cause the surer you are, the less you have to work

Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo, doo, hey

Not now, I′ll tell you later
Not now, I'll tell you when
Not now, I′ll tell you later
When I'm gonna fall in love
Everybody sing it

Not now, I′ll tell you later (everybody)
Not now, I'll tell you when (everybody)
Not now, I'll tell you later (everybody)
When I′m gonna fall in love
One more time everybody
Not now, I′ll tell you later
