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!

Though I′m goin' 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.

Though I′m goin' 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,
Just take five,
Just take five,
Just take five.
