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 gotta sell it to ya
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 TV
I gotta have remote control with me
Oh, and when I'm watching football
I can go to total recall
I got freeze frame, I got slo 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, gotta get a meal inside
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
We want it now
