Took my gal to the picture show
Just the other day
But when I tried to hold her hand
Here's what she had to sayNo not now
(No not now)
No not now
(No not now)No not now
But maybe next week
SomehowWalked my gal home to the door
And asked her for a kiss
But she quickly turned away
And then she told me thisNo not now
(No not now)
No not now
(No not now)No not now
But maybe next week
SomehowI asked my gal to marry me
Reckon what she said
She said, I wouldn't marry you
If all the rest were deadNo not now
(No not now)
No not now
(No not now)No not now
But maybe next week
SomehowBut she went and changed her mind
How I regret that day
'Cause every since I married her
Here's all that she can sayNo not now
(No not now)
No not now
(No not now)No not now
But maybe next week
SomehowI stayed out too late last night
On a little spree
And when I asked her to let me in
Here's all she said to meNo not now
(No not now)
No not now
(No not now)No not now
But maybe next week
Somehow
