[Intro: AJ]
Yeah yeah yeah

[Verse 1: AJ & Nick with Brian]
Jodie was a long way from home
She could make alone look pretty
Her attitude made a part of the landscape
Riding her bike through Alphabet City
She likes to party in the backseat
Under the bridge on the Brooklyn side
Smoking cigarettes in the afterglow
Taking bets that the sun won't rise

[Pre-Chorus 1: AJ with Nick & Howie]
She said
"What good is tomorrow without a guarantee?"
She can lick her lips and smile
And make you wanna believe

[Chorus: All]
That the consequences of your actions
Really are just a game
That your life is just a chain reaction
Taking you day by day
She says, "nothing's forever in this crazy world"
Still I'm falling in love
With the right now poster girl

[Interlude: AJ, Nick & All]
Right now, right now
Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh (oh, oh-oh)

[Verse 2: AJ & Nick with Brian, Howie]
Jodie like to shoplift in stores
Ride alongside the rich and famous
Get in elevators, press emergency stops
And make love on the floor 'til the camera made us
And no woman in the world
Ever made me feel like my heart's on fire
Where she'd walk, I followed (followed)
When she left, I cried

[Pre-Chorus 2: AJ & Nick with Brian, AJ with Howie]
What good is tomorrow without a guarantee?
And I was wrapped around her finger
And I began to believe

[Chorus: All & AJ]
That the consequences of your actions
Really are just a game
That your life is just a chain reaction
Taking you day by day
She says, "nothing's forever in this crazy world"
Still I'm falling in love
With the right now poster girl
That the consequences of your actions
Really are just a game
That your life is just a chain reaction
Taking you day by day (day by day)
She says, "nothing's forever in this crazy world" (crazy world)
Still I'm falling in love
With the right now poster girl

[Break: Nick & Kevin, AJ & All]
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
(La-la-la-la-la)
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
(La-la-la-la-la)
La-la-la-la-la (oh!)

[Bridge: All with AJ, AJ with Brian]
Tell me what you want from me
I've got everything you need
It's getting hard for me to breathe
Let me be your guarantee, oh-oh!

[Chorus: All & AJ]
That the consequences of your actions
Really are just a game
That your life is just a chain reaction
Taking you day by day (day by day)
She says, "nothing's forever (forever) in this crazy world"
Still I'm falling in love
With the right now poster girl (poster girl)
That the consequences of your actions
Really are just a game (a game)
That your life is just a chain reaction
Taking you day by day (day by day!)
She says, "nothing's forever (forever)
In this crazy world" (crazy world)
Still I'm falling in love
With the right now poster girl

[Outro: AJ & Nick]
Right now, right now
Right now, oh, oh-oh
Poster girl, poster girl yeah
C'mon, c'mon

The Backstreet Boys are the most successful boy band in history, having sold over 130 million records worldwide, and with their first nine albums reaching the top 10 on the Billboard 200. Florida natives A. J. McLean, Howie Dorough, and Nick Carter, along with Kentucky transplant Kevin Richardson, were joined in a band once they attended Lou Pearlman’s auditions for a vocal group in 1992, with the group being completed by Kevin’s cousin Brian Litrell. Once took under the wing of Swedish producer Max Martin in 1995, the stage was set for global domination, attracting the lust of women and the anger of men. While the fad died down and Kevin even left for a while, the band never officially took a break or such.
