Five More Minutes

You said to me you won’t take that long
But it seems like hours what is goin’ on
At the rate you’re goin’ we’re gonna be late
How much longer are you gonna make me wait

I know a woman takes time to look pretty
But you’re takin’ so long I think you need pity
How long it should take I’m really not that sure
To style your hair and have a manicure

Five more minutes is what you said
Those few words are my biggest dread
Oh how I wish I’d stayed in bed
How long are you gonna be for heaven’s sake
I could have mowed the lawn, washed the car, and baked a cake

Five more minutes while life’s too short
Maybe I should shout to you abort abort
But that’ll be my last resort
So come on honey and get your ass in gear
I don’t wanna be hangin’ around all year

I’m not really comparin’ you to what takes that long
But Summer, Autumn and Winter have just gone
I could’ve gone for a walk to Timbuktu
And gone to the moon and back while waiting for you

Five more minutes is what you said
Those few words are my biggest dread
Oh how I wish I’d stayed in bed
How long are you gonna be for heaven’s sake
I could have mowed the lawn, washed the car, and baked a cake

Five more minutes while life’s too short
Maybe I should shout to you abort abort
But that’ll be my last resort
So come on honey and get your ass in gear
I don’t wanna be hangin’ around all year

Five more minutes is what you said
Those few words are my biggest dread
Oh how I wish I’d stayed in bed
How long are you gonna be for heaven’s sake
I could have mowed the lawn, washed the car, and baked a cake

Five more minutes while life’s too short
Maybe I should shout to you abort abort
But that’ll be my last resort
So come on honey and get your ass in gear
I don’t wanna be hangin’ around all year
