Lyrics
You keep saying diamond rings don't do it for you
Because some rocks on those knuckles
That are bigger than an Oppenheim mine
But see it's late in the P.M
You'd better carpe that diem
You're way outta time
You're way outta line
Baby seize that day, yeah yeah yeah yeah
See, I don't want to break ya when I shake ya
I'm just trying to wake you up, girl
They might put me on a charge
But I'd get off for a justifiable cause
'Cause no jury would convict me
Saying, "Yeah, he's strictly guilty"
Unanimously he's gonna walk free
'Cause we all can say, yeah yeah yeah"
That there's no tomorrow quite like today
Now, there's no tomorrow quite like today
Now, there's no tomorrow, beg, steal, or borrow
You read in your tea leaves, your I Ching and Tarot
They came to say
There's no tomorrow like today
Yeah, sometimes lately
It feels that it's a Shakespeare play that we're in
If he had to do a re-write
You'd be Hamlet in skirts
Oh, my little procrastinator
You delayer and prevaricator
I prognosticate
I ain't gonna wait
Or hang any longer
When there's no tomorrow quite like today
There's no tomorrow quite like today
Now, there's no tomorrow, beg, steal, or borrow
You throw in your dice, your I Ching and Tarot
They all agree
There's no tomorrow like today
There's a whole world waiting out there for us, babe
I don't know what we're meant to do
But I've got a hunch or clue
It involves me and you
You need to take the longer view
Tomorrow quite like today
Tomorrow quite like today
Now, there's no tomorrow, beg, steal, or borrow
You throw in the dice and the I Ching and Tarot
What if they say
There's no tomorrow like today
There's no tomorrow like today
There's no tomorrow like today
There's no tomorrow like today
There's no tomorrow like today
Today
