Lyrics

Won't you come and take a little time out with me?
Just take five
Stop your busy day and take the time out to see
I am alive
I've been going out of my way just so I can pass by today
Not a single word do we say
It's a pantomime and not a play
Still I know our eyes often meet
I get tingles down to my feet
When your smile is all too discreet
Send 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 all right
Just take five
I go out of my way to pass each day
When our eyes meet
I get a tingling in my feet
Take five
Just take five
Won't you come and take a little time out with me?
Just take five
Stop your busy day and take the time out to see
I am alive
I've been going out of my way just so I can pass by today
Not a single word do we say
It's a pantomime and not a play
Still I know our eyes often meet
I get tingles down to my feet
When your smile is all too discreet
Send 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 all right
Just take five
Just take five
Yeah, it's all right
Just take five
Start a little conversation now
Just take five
