For a Minute
M.O Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you've only known me for a minute,
Yeah you've only known me for a minute.
When you've only known me for a minute,
Yeah you've only known me for a minute.

At the start you were cool,
Moved too fast, it fell through.
You presumed way too much, no more games you're out of luck.

Your compliments they made me smile,
But it's too much all the time.
And all the rings they were nice,
But they're not worth the price.

Stop don't be too quick to judge me, I'm not easy just to take for a ride.
Wine and dining showing cash all of that is there just to please the eye.
You ain't got me got me got me got me
You won't win I ain't staying the night.
You ain't got me got me got me got me
You won't win I ain't staying the night.

When you've only known me for a minute,
Yeah you've only known me for a minute.
When you've only known me for a minute,
Yeah you've only known me for a minute.

Stop, Now change it up.
Truth is baby I don't really give a fuck.
See your chat it winds me up,
Lets be real it's not enough.
I really thought that you could change,
But all along you stayed the same

So give it up cos I ain't gone give it up.
So give it up cos I ain't gone give it up.

Stop don't be too quick to judge me, I'm not easy just to take for a ride.
Wine and dining showing cash all of that is there just to please the eye.
You ain't got me got me got me got me
You won't win I ain't staying the night.
You ain't got me got me got me got me
You won't win I ain't staying the night.

When you've only known me for a minute,
Yeah you've only known me for a minute.
When you've only known me for a minute,
Yeah you've only known me for a minute.

Over over and over,
Boy I said it over, over and over.
So give it up, cause I ain't gonna give it up,
So give it up, cause I ain't gonna give it up,




So give it up, cause I ain't gonna give it up,
So give it up, cause I ain't gonna give it up,

The singer emphasizes that material possessions and displays of wealth are not enough to win her over and that she won't be taken for a ride.

The song ends with a repetition of the phrase "so give it up cause I ain't gonna give it up," emphasizing that the singer is not willing to settle for anything less than she deserves.
