Five More Minutes

Ever since this morning

When you got out of bed

You've waited for me to be done

And listened when I said

I just need five more minutes

I won't be very long

I know I said that earlier

But I guess that I was wrong

Can't you read another book

Or watch some more TV ?

I just need five more minutes

Please sit there patiently.

I'm sure there's something you can do

Is all your homework done?

I've got a list of things to do

And I'm checkin' off each one

Everytime you call my name

To see if I am ready

Makes it take much longer and

I've told you twice already

I just need five more minutes

So go wait in the car

You think you're bein patient

But I don't think you are

Why don't you call up Grandma?

She'll always talk to you

I just need five more minutes

And then I will be through

I know its gotten really late

I'm still not done you know

Just wait until tomorrow

I promise we will go

I promise we will go
