[Verse 1]
It's the reason for livin', but that's what I'm givin'
I don't need a history lesson to tell me why
I mean, I'm in no hurry to hustle and scurry
There's so much to see and life ain't gonna pass me by

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Tomorrow's right around the corner
I'll get there somehow
But I'm stuck in the meantime
And I love the now

[Chorus 1]
I love the now, all the faces and places
I love the now, all the rats and the races
It's the only place I've ever been
It's the only way that I know how
Don't talk about your superstitions
Don't talk about your cat's meow
But don't talk about tomorrow tonight
I love the now

[Verse 2]
It's true, we've got problems, how do we solve 'em?
Better break out your thinkin' cap and your old dunce cone
Searchin' for answers like interpretive dancers
She asks me for reasons, then tells me to wait for the tone
[Pre-Chorus 2]
The whole damn world's gone crazy
The moon is jumpin' over the cow
How can you help but
Not love the now?

[Chorus 2]
I love the now, all the ranting and raving
I love the now, all the cussin' and craving
It's the only mess I've ever seen
It's the only place where I know how
Don't talk about your futuristic
Don't talk about your thees and thous
Don't talk about tomorrow tonight
I love the now

[Bridge]
Sittin' on 'G'
Waitin' on 'O'
I'm exactly where
I want to go

[Chorus 3]
I love the now, all the pain and the pleasure
I love the now, all the blood and the treasure
It's the only circus that I know
It's the only ring where I'm allowed
Talk about a standing ovation
Everybody take a bow
But don't talk about tomorrow tonight
I love the now
[Outro]
But don't talk about tomorrow tonight
I love the now
No, don't talk about tomorrow tonight
I love the now
