Al Jarreau - Take Five lyrics

rate me

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 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 discrete,

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 discrete,

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
