Quality Time - Susannah McCorkle

I’ll be late getting home from the office

And so will you

For we both have a million calls to return

And a million things to do

We’re not seeing enough of each other

'Cause truth be told

We’re up to awry years in our careers

And we’re putting our hearts on hold

So darling, let me bring you up to speed

A little time together’s what we need

Quality time

We both deserve a little quality time

We’ll find a small hotel, remote and quiet

In case they wanna sell my firm good by it

And we develop it and gentrify it

We’re talking quality time

Quality time

We owe ourselves a little quality time

In the Bahamas we can let our stress go

We’ll walk along the beach and dine alfresco

I’ll take a powered lunch with Robert Vesco

We’re talking quality time

Come fly with me

And lie, kick back, relax

I’ll bring my laptop fast

You’ll work on your new screenplay

I’ll update my resumé

Quality time

A little frolic and frivolity time

We’ll take a seminar in self-hypnosis

So we can learn to stop and smell the roses

We’ll do a workshop on the grieving process

Learning to cry is no crime

We’re talking quality time

We better shape up while we’re still in our prime

We’ll hit the tennis courts in our Adidas

Some influential sports are bound to meet us

We’ll double fault off course, and let them beat us

We’re talking quality time

We’re both entitled to some quality time

We’ll find some upskilled ties to share some space with

A wealthy couple we could interface with

A smart attorney we could start a case with

We’re talking quality time

Come dine with me

This time you choose the wine

Romance is the bottomline

And late when we’re alone

Hang on, there’s my other phone

We’ll have a ball

But now I gotta deal with this other call

We’ve both been chewing more than we can bite off

We gotta take at least a day—a night off

I’ll speak to Sip—he'll make it all a write-off

This may not cost us a dime

I’ll fax you back with the plan of a tack

To let the quality time begin

We’ll firm up the time frame

And you can pencil me in

You better pencil me in
