Billy Ward And The Dominoes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Look a here girls I'm telling you now
They call me "Lovin' Dan"
I rock 'em, roll 'em all night long
I'm a sixty-minute man
If you don't believe I'm all that I say
Come up and take my hand
When I let you go you'll cry "Oh yes"
There'll be 15 minutes of kissing
Then you'll holler "Please don't stop" (Don't stop !)
There'll be 15 minutes of teasing
And 15 minutes of squeezing
And 15 minutes of blowing my top........
The lyrics of Billy Ward's Sixty Minute Man portray a man who is boasting about his sexual prowess, claiming that he can satisfy a woman for a full hour without pause. The opening lines of the song introduce the man's nickname, "Lovin' Dan," and his reputation as a highly-skilled lover. The lyrics suggest that the man is well-known among women for his ability to "rock 'em, roll 'em all night long," and that he is confident that he can live up to his reputation.
In the following lines, the man challenges any woman who doubts his abilities to come forward and take his hand. He boasts that after he is done with her, she will be crying out that he is indeed a "sixty-minute man." The following lines reinforce the sexual nature of the song, with the man suggesting that there will be 15 minutes of kissing, 15 minutes of teasing, 15 minutes of squeezing, and 15 minutes of climax ("blowing my top").
