(One day, two days, three, four, five)

A-that's how long that she's been gone

And that's a long time

Five days, five days

Since you walked out the door

Won't you please come home

I couldn't stand five more



Well the first day after she left me

I laughed and told my friends

That he'd be back before

The sun is settin' low again

Five days, five days

Since you walked out the door

Won't you please come home

I couldn't stand five more



Well, the second day after she left me

I started to have my doubts

I wondered if she was comin' back

Really had checked out

Five days, five days

Since you walked out the door

Won't you please come home

I couldn't stand five more

(One, two, three, four, five days more)



Well, the third day after she left me

I started to watch the door

Before the day was over

I began to walk the floor

Five days, five days

Since you walked out the door

Won't you please come home

I couldn't stand five more



Well the fourth day after she left me

I really began to sweat

She should have been back days ago

But she ain't got back yet

Five days, five days

Since you walked out the door

Won't you please come home

I couldn't stand five more

(One, two, three, four, five days more)
