Now or Never Songtext
von Billie Holiday with Sy Oliver and His Orchestra

Hey fat daddy make up your mind
′Cause I've been waiting such a long, long time

Now baby or never
′Cause I've been so good to you
Now baby or never
'Cause I′ve been so lonesome, too
Now baby or never
If I mean anything to you

Now baby or never
′Cause you wasted so much time
Now baby or never
'Cause you can′t make up your mind
Now baby or never
And it ain't no fault of mine


It′s got to be yes or no
It's either you stay or go
You can′t leave me on the shelf
You gotta commit yourself
It's either you will baby or won't
Fall in love with me

Gonna call you once more on the telephone
I′ll give you till twelve then I′ll be gone

Now baby or never
'Cause I′ve been so good to you
Now baby or never
'Cause I′ve been so lonesome, too
Now baby or never
If I mean anything to you

Now baby or never
'Cause you wasted so much time
Now baby or never
′Cause you can't make up your mind
Now baby or never
And it ain't no fault of mine


It′s got to be yes or no
It′s either you stay or go
You can't leave me on the shelf
You gotta commit yourself
It′s either you will baby or won't
Fall in love with me

I waited last night for you to call
You give me no consideration at all

It′s now baby or never
'Cause you wasted so much time
Now baby or never
And you must make up your mind
Now baby or never
And it ain′t no fault of mine

It's got to be yes or no
It's either you stay or go
You can′t leave me on the shelf
You gotta commit yourself

It′s either you will baby or won't
You do baby or don′t
Either you will baby or won't
Fall in love with me
