Sooner Or Later
Lyrics
Sooner or later you're gonna be mine
Sooner or later you're gonna be fine
Baby, it's time that you face it
I always get my man
Sooner or later you're gonna decide
Sooner or later there's nowhere to hide
Baby, it's time, so why waste it in chatter?
Let's settle the matter
Baby, you're mine on a platter
I always get my man
But if you insist, babe, the challenge delights me
The more you resist, babe, the more it excites me
And no one I've kissed, babe, ever fights me again
If you're on my list, it's just a question of when
When I get a yen, then baby, Amen
I'm counting to ten, and then...
I'm gonna love you like nothing you've known
I'm gonna love you, and you all alone
Sooner is better than later but lover
I'll hover, I'll plan
This time I'm not only getting
I'm holding my man

This song was taken from the movie Dick Tracy. Madonna performed it on the 1991 Academy Awards, where it won the Oscar for 'Best Original Song'. On her Blond Ambition Tour she sang it while laying down on top of the piano, as a true jazz singer in a club in the wee hours of the night.
