Shangri-Las Right Now and Not Later Lyrics:
Listen to me, baby, and listen real good.
You know you're not treating me as good as you should.
Every time I call you here by my side,
Ya have some excuse and I want to know why.
Right now and not later, baby.
Right now and not later.
'Cause later may be too late,
And I gotta know right now.
I mean right now and not later, baby.
Right now and not later, baby.
[Short instrumental break.]
There's something wrong and it's starting to show.
An' I don't wanna be the last to know.
So, if there's someone else standing in our way,
Then I think there's somethin' that you oughta say.
Right now and not later, baby.
Right now and not later.
'Cause later may be too late,
And I gotta know right now.
I mean right now and not later, baby.
Right now and not later, baby.
[Short instrumental break.]
If we can't be lovers we can still be friends.
'Cause life goes on, even though love ends.
Boy, if you still want romance,
Baby, I'll give you just one more chance.

Right now and not later, baby.
Right now and not later.
'Cause later may be too late,
And I gotta know right now.
I mean right now and not later, baby.
Right now and not later, baby.
Right now and not later, baby.
[Fade.]
Right now and not later, baby.
Right now and not later, baby.
Right now and not later...
[RIGHT NOW AND NOT LATER]

[1] Personnel: Identical twins, Mary Anne & Marguerite "Marge" Ganser and
siblings, Mary & Elizabeth "Betty" Weiss
[1a] , formed the original act. Mary
Weiss was the main, lead singer, Betty, however, took lead on "Maybe," and
a number of B-sides and album tracks, Marge Ganser took lead on "I'm Blue"
and Mary Ann Ganser took the lead on "Sophisticated Boom Boom."]
[1a] Because Betty was underage, her mother did not allow her to tour until
1966, when she became 18. As a result she often did not appear in photos,
and many fans believed the Shangri-Las were a trio. Few pictures show all 4
of the girls.]
