Not Now, I'll Tell You Later Lyrics - Diana Ross & The Supremes

Do do do do 

Do do do do do 

Do do do do do do, hey 

When my dad thought I had become of age 

He said, "son, you're getting to the lovin' stage" 

I said, "oh yeah, oh yeah" 

"it's time you stopped being all alone 

You've got to find a girl you can call your own" 

I said, "not now, I'll tell you later 

Not now, I'll tell you when 

Not now, I'll tell you later 

When I'm gonna fall in love" 

Do do do do 

Do do do do do 

Do do do do do do, yeah 

I met a little girl, fine as could be 

I said, "girl, you're the girl that was made for me" 

She said, "oh yeah, oh yeah" 

I thought if I tried, I just couldn't miss 

So I asked the lil' girl for just one lil' kiss 

She said, "not now, I'll tell you later (not now) 

Not now, I'll tell you when (not now) 

Not now, I'll tell you later 

When I'm gonna fall in love" 

When it's time for you to fall in love 

It won't make sense for you to hurry 

Take you time and make up your mind 

Cause the surer you are, the less you have to work 

Do do do do 

Do do do do do 

Do do do do do do, hey 

Not now, I'll tell you later (not now) 

Not now, I'll tell you when (not now) 

Not now, I'll tell you later 

(everybody) 

When I'm gonna fall in love
