I know that you’re busy.
There’s just so much you have to do.
This job makes you crazy,
But could I borrow a minute from you?
If you will just let me speak,
I’ve been trying for weeks
To say what’s been on my mind.
I promise I’ll be as brief as I can
If you’d be so kind.
Could we schedule a meeting?
Yes, believe me, I already know
That your time is so fleeting.
It seems that you’re always on the go.
Since I can’t get you alone,
I thought I’d call in the phone
And make this appointment with you.
Could we maybe meet somewhere for lunch?
What do you say about two?
Could we have a discussion
About the way that you feel for me?
It seems that you’re always rushing
To someplace else that you have to be.
If you could just make some time
I’ve got a merger in mind
That’s beneficial to both of us.
Yes, you can take your time to decide
Because there’s no need to rush.
Your life is lived in the fast lane.
It’s time that you take a break.
You may not get this chance again,
So hurry, before it’s too late.
Let’s slow it all down
And get out of this town.
We’ll run away together alone.
If you think you can live with these terms,
You can reach me by phone.
