Four in the morning and I just can't sleep,
I've got a craving now for something sweet,
So I head off for my local all-night supermarket,
When I get there, it's deserted;
And now I'm standing at the chocolate shelf,
Under the sign that says "Help yourself,
If you really gotta have it, then we really got to sell it to you,
This is for people who say;
I want it, and I want it now,
I want it, and I just can't wait,
I want it, and I want it now,
I want it and I will not wait,
I want it now!"
I sit at home and when I watch T.V,
I gotta have remote control with me,
Oh and when I'm watching football, I can go to total recall,
I've got freeze-frame, I've got slow-mo;
This is the way that it was meant to be,
You gotta get ready for the century,
I'm a total modern man, and I got total modern plans,
And it's so easy when you say;
I want it, and I want it now,
I want it, and I just can't wait,
I want it and I want it now.
I gotta get a feel to try,
I gotta get a meal inside,
I gotta get a deal tonight,
I gotta say,
I want it now, I want it now, I want it now,
And I just can't wait!
I want it, and I want it now,
I want it and I just can't wait,
I want it, and I want it now,
I want it and I will not wait;
I want it now,
I want it now,
I want it now, and I just can't wait;
I want it now,
I want it now,
I want it now, and I just can't wait;
Here it is the new sensation, listen to the new generation,
"We want something, we want it now!"
You don't need no invitation, listen to the new conversation,
"We want something, we want it now!"
Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh,
We want it now;
Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh,
We want it now;
Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh,
We want it now;
Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh,
I want it and I want it now.
"It seems to me that we are living very much in the now generation, where the flick of a switch can change television channels. And this is a fun look at the kids today, who say 'I want it, and I want it know!'"
