Lyrics
Now is the time for me to turn and run
Before I get to liking you a lot
Now is the time to play the cautious one
Before you get me tied up in a knot
Here’s where a fella oughta stop
And look before he leaps
Now’s when a fella oughta shop
Before he buys for keeps
Now is the time to undo what you’ve done
Before the spark you kindled grows too hot
But let’s get it straight now would be the time
If it weren’t already too late
