"Take Five" lyrics

Won't you stop and take a little time out with me
Just take five
Mmm mmm mmm
Stop your busy day and take the time out to see
That I'm alive
Mmm mmm mmm

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 and so tongue-tied?
'Cause I won't bite
Start a little conversation now, it's all right
Just take five
Just take five

Do you ever (do you) stop and think about me?
Do you think, "I must try to make her see I'm what she needs"?
You're what I need
And do you ever wonder what could be
If you said, "Hey, can I have your number please?"

So stop, if only to be civil
If you get shy and start to giggle
I won't judge, no, not even a little
Stop and see where it may lead us
This indecision won't defeat us
Just smile and say good day

Won't you stop and take a little time out with me
Just take five
Mmm mmm mmm
Stop your busy day and take the time out to see
That I'm alive
Mmm mmm mmm

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 and so tongue-tied?
You know I won't bite
Start a little conversation now, it's all right
Just take five
Just take five
Just take five
Just take five
Just take five
Just take five
