I don't want no minute man
Ooh, here's your chance be a man take my hand understand
I don't want no minute man
Uh, uh, ooh, uh, uh, uh, uh ooh, uh
Boy I'ma make you love me, make you want me
And I'ma give you some attention, tonight (ooh)
Now follow my intuitions, what you're wishin'
See I'ma keep you up all night (all night), for a long time
So start countin' away
Break me off, show me what you got
'Cause I don't want, no one minute man (ooh)
Break me off, show me what you got
'Cause I don't want, no one minute man (uh)
Break me off, show me what you got
'Cause I don't want, no one minute man (ooh)
Break me off, show me what you got
'Cause I don't want, no
Tonight I'ma give it to you, throw it to you
I want you to come prepared, oh yeah (oh yes) (ooh)
Boy, it's been a long time, a crazy long time
And I don't want no minute man, and that's real
Give it to me some more
Break me off, show me what you got
'Cause I don't want, no one minute man (ooh)
Break me off, show me what you got
'Cause I don't want, no one minute man
Break me off, show me what you got
'Cause I don't want, no one minute man (ooh)
Break me off, show me what you got
'Cause I don't (yeah) want, no (uh uh)
It's time to set your clock back 'bout as long as you can
I stop daylight, it's Ludacris the maintenance man
Get your oil changed, I check fluids and transmission
You one minute fools, you wonder why y'all missin'
On the back of milk cartons and there's no reward
No regards, close but it's no cigar
A hard head make a soft ass, but a hard dick make the sex last
I jump in pools and make a big splash
Water overflowin', so get your head right
It's all in your mind punk so keep your head tight
Enough with tips and advice and thangs
I'm big dog, havin' women seein stripes and thangs
They go to sleep, start snorin', countin' sheep and shit
They so wet, that they body start to leak and shit
Just 'cause I'm an all-nighter, shoot all fire
Ludacris, balance and rotate all tires
Ooh, I don't want, I don't need, I can't stand no minute man
I don't want no minute man
Ooh, here's your chance be a man take my hand understand
I don't want no minute man
Break me off, show me what you got
'Cause I don't want, no one minute man
Break me off, show me what you got
'Cause I don't want, no one minute man
Break me off, show me what you got
'Cause I don't want, no one minute man
Break me off, break-break me off
Break-break me off, show me what you got
Break me off, show me what you got
Break me off, show me what you got
Break me off, show me what you got
Break me off, break-break me off
Missy Elliott's song "One Minute Man" is a bold and sexually empowered anthem for women who are tired of lackluster sexual experiences with men who can't keep up. In the chorus, Elliott sings that she doesn't want or need a "minute man," someone who cannot last in bed for more than a minute. She asserts her sexuality and makes it clear that she wants a man who can keep up with her and make her feel satisfied. The song is a message to men that quickies and short-lived sexual encounters are not enough for women and that they need to step up their game.
Throughout the song, Elliott maintains a confident and assertive attitude, encouraging men to show her what they've got and break her off. She sings about how she wants to be pleased all night long and how she wants her partner to be prepared for a long and satisfying sexual experience. She even references Ludacris, who features in the song, as the "maintenance man" who knows how to keep things running smoothly and pleasure his partner all night long. In essence, the song is a message to both men and women that women deserve to have fulfilling and empowering sexual experiences, and that settling for less isn't an option.
