Hello, my friend, I'm surprised to see you.
It's been such a long time. Do you remember when?
What's that you say... you haven't had your 'days'? Since when?
Oh, since then.
Are you quite sure it's me?
Maybe we're both living the same dream.
Or, call it a daymare if you want to.
No, it's reality, she said
and lucky for you I brought with me a test.
And I hear it's the best. It gives you...
(Chorus)
5 minutes to save the world,
5 minutes to get the girl,
5 minutes to make history.
5 minutes to be a star,
5 minutes to travel far,
5 minutes (waiting on Hilary)
And what if it says yes...
will you do the right thing?
I said, yeah.., yeah.., yeah!
My mama raised me right!
But there's just one thing you've got to know.
This is not my desire
and I'll always want to go
but I'll never leave you.
I'll always stay
because it's the right thing to do.
5 minutes to save the world,
5 minutes to get the girl,
5 minutes to make history.
5 minutes to be a star,
5 minutes to travel far,
5 minutes (waiting on Hilary)
I can't turn back the time
no matter how hard I try.
That's the reason why I can't cry!
So she wished me luck,
as she went into the john
to put some pee in a cup,
and I knew this couldn't be love.
Then I sat in front of the microwave
because from there I could see both the time and my face,
while I stared at the clock.
Things start to look like a TV screen
as I see myself as the actor in a scene from a movie
about a man whose got to stop f****** around and get his act together
because now he knows he only has,
5 minutes to save the world,
5 minutes to get the girl,
5 minutes to make history.
5 minutes to be a star,
5 minutes to travel far,
5 minutes (waiting on Hilary)
