(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)
