Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
I'm alive
[Bridge]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Outro]
Just take five
Just take five
Just take five
