Lyrics
5Minutes
God be nice now
Make him happy
Make him feel at home
Like we did down here
God be wise now
Make sure they treat him good
Make sure they laugh at his jokes
Like we did down here
Chorus:
I don?t understand how this can fit in your plan
It better be worth all these tears
She just wants to wake up
Get out of this place for 5 minutes
God don?t sell him short
Crown him your prince and
Make all this worth while
God be good now
Let him party and
Tell them how he?s doing
Chorus:
He?s got a wife
He?s got a son
He?s got a daughter
Give her his your soul
Give him his your Laugh
Give her his your protection
Chorus:
God say your sorry now
Tell them you made a mistake
And give them your world
I see you standing on your own
I see your head in your hands
I know there?s nothing like perfection
But he made an exception for her.
