We gotta take an intermission
We gotta take an intermission, yes, you know we do

We've been goin' together for some time
Glad I found someone to match my stride (Yeah)
Learnin' about each other as we go along
But there's only so much that you can be around someone

I need a little space to tend to me
And I know that you're feeling the same thing
If ya don't mind, I think

We gotta take an intermission
No, we're not through
But I gotta get to know me without you
We gotta take an intermission
Yes, you know we do
'Cause I got to get to know me without you

I gotta refill my cocktail
You wanna get popcorn instead
I gotta make a run to the powder room
The first martini ran right on through
You gotta check yo' messages
While you smoke yo' cigarette
Sit our ass down and take a breath
We just need to catch our breath
(We gotta catch out breath)

Don't you wanna get some fresh air? It gets a tad bit stuffy in here
Every situation needs a little circulation
And if you're secure in where we are you know that I won't be far
Plus I wanna catch the rest of the show, and so

I need a little space to tend to me
And I know that you're feeling the same thing
We gotta give this a swing

We gotta take an intermission
No, we're not through (Not through)
But I gotta get to know me without you (Get to know me, ain't nothin' personal, yeah)
We gotta take an intermission (I like it, 'cause it's personal to me)
Yes, you know we do
'Cause I got to get to know me without you

I gotta refill my cocktail
You wanna get popcorn instead
I gotta make a run to the powder room
The first martini ran right on through
You gotta check yo' messages
While you smoke yo' cigarette
Sit our ass down and take a breath
We just need to catch our breath (Oh, yeah)

I think we gotta take an intermission
No, we're not through
But I gotta get to know me without you (I gotta get to know me, baby)
We gotta take an intermission (You know we got to)
Yes, you know we do
'Cause I got to get to know me without you (Without you)

We gotta take an intermission, without you
Yes, you know we do
'Cause I got to get to know me without you
