You say, you want to live some Move out into the fast lane You say you need excitement To make you come alive Some place, a million miles From the shadows that surround you I look for your attention You're lost out in the future Where lovers ask no questions And shadows never fall Some pilgrim bound for paradise No compromise, paradise is here It's time to stop your crying The future is this moment And not some place out there Tonight I need your love Don't talk about tomorrow Right now I need your loving Right now give it to me Right now I want your loving Right now, now, now, now You talk about your new plans To move up on the stairway Your dream about the high life That's waiting for you there A world of fame and fortune That's just around the corner But I don't need no high life To make me feel a real man And I don't need to reach for No castles in the sky Just put your arms around me Devour me 'cause paradise is here It's time to stop your crying The future is this moment And not some place out there Tonight I need your love Don't talk about tomorrow Right now I need your loving Right now give it to me Right now I want your loving Right now, now, now, now Tonight I need your loving Paradise is here
