Won't you stop and take
A little time out with me
Just take five

Stop your busy day
And take the time out
To see if I'm alive


Though I'm going out of my way
Just so I can pass by each day

Not a single word do we say
It's a pantomime and not a play


Still, I know our eyes often meet
I feel tingles down to my feet
When you smile, that's much too discreet

Sends me on my way

Wouldn't it be better

Not to be so polite
You could offer a light
Start a little conversation now

It's alright, just take five
Just take five


Though I'm going out of my way
Just so I can pass by each day
Not a single word do we say

It's a pantomime and not a play

Still, I know our eyes often meet

I feel tingles down to my feet
When you smile, that's much too discreet
Sends me on my way


Wouldn't it be better
Not to be so polite

You could offer a light
Start a little conversation now
It's alright, just take five

Just take five
