[English]
Not now, it’ll be another time
Not now, I can’t today
It’ll be later
Not now, it’ll be another time
Not now, I can’t today
It’ll be later
And that’s how you’ve spent all this time
Since the day I met you
I don’t know why you won’t
Go out with me one day
Don’t think badly of my love
I care for you, I offer you love
We can just be friends
If you don’t love me like I do
Not now, it’ll be another time
Not now, I can’t today
And when can you?
And I’m still, still in love
More with you each day
The same time I’ve spent insisting so much
Don’t think badly of my love
I care for you, I offer you love
We can just be friends
If you don’t love me like I do
Not now, it’ll be another time
Not now, not now
It’ll be later
Not now, it’ll be another time
Not now, you can’t today
And when can you?
Not now, it’ll be another time
Not now, not now
And when can you?
