"It's Now Or Never"

It's now or never
Come hold me tight
Kiss me, my darling
Be mine tonight
Tomorrow
Will be too late
It's now or never
My love won't wait

Answer below...



































2. "Rolling in the Deep" Adele

There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark
Finally, I can see you crystal clear
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your shit bare
See how I'll leave with every piece of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do
There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark

3. "Rock Around the Clock" Bill Haley & His Comets

One, two, tree o'clock, four o'clock rock
Five, six, seven o'clock, eight o'clock rock
Nine, ten, eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock rock
We're gonna rock around the clock tonight

I'm not sure what means are allowed in this puzzle.
I've used a web search engine to check my guesses.
The web search engine then showed me that song.
I did not know these lyrics by heart.
