5

I'm four and a half and I'll be five next year

Four and a half won't do
You've got to be five for you to get through to me
Don't you see?

I've been scoping you from afar
Can't get over to where you are
My mom says I can't cross the street
But soon you and I've got to meet
I can't wait
I've been missing out on a treat
Next year things will be really neat
You'll see why

Who's gonna be five?
I'll be five
Then my love will come alive
Five, I'll be five
Then I think I can survive
Five, I'll be five
We can meet across the street
Five, five
And our love will be complete

My crowd living next door to me
Tells me that you are really sweet
I feel there is no need to fear
(Baby cause)
Next year I will be in the clear
Oh don't you worry
(And let me tell you now)

Four and a half won't do
You've got to be five for you to get through
Silly boy
Four and a half won't do (Listen mama)
You've got to be five for you to get through to me
(I gotta get some of)
Don't you see?

I don't know what I'm gonna do once I get there
But there's a certain kinda feeling that the two of us can share

Five, baby
Five, I'll be five
And I think I can survive (oh oh)
Five
