Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I ain't thinking 'bout him at all, uh uh
Called it quits, I've done my shit
I ain't look back, ain't nothing to be sad for, uh uh
Just one of those things when you know it's over
Better walk away, no reason to hold on, oh
Boy, it's easy to be off you
I don't see you, I don't call you
Been a minute since you call me, call me, call me, call me
Call me, call me
Been a minute since you got naughty, naughty, naughty, naughty
Naughty, naughty
Been a minute since my body, body, body, body
Been on your body, body
Been a minute since all that, oh yeah
And I think I might want that back
Do you know it, do you think
We should try you and me again
Or should we just stay friends?
Fuck and we know it then
It's been a minute since I called you
Saying you should fall through
For a little private party
How you grindin' your body all over my body
I'm sorry
Some days, I wish I could go back to you
Erase all the games and bullshit I put you through
And other times, I'm thinking
Easy to be of you
I don't see you, I don't call you
Then you call me, oh damn
Been a minute since you call me, call me, call me, call me
Call me, call me
Been a minute since you got naughty, naughty, naughty, naughty
Naughty, naughty
Been a minute since my body, body, body, body
Been on your body, body
Been a minute since all that, oh yeah
And I think I might want that back
I don't know if I wanna keep you
Or if I just wanna touch you
I'm not sure if I wanna tie you down and fuck you
Or if I just wanna say, "Fuck you"
But i wont forget what you did to me
Oh, I kinda want that old thing back
Oh, how you do me like that
Shit, goddamn, got me so confused
Shit, goddamn, I don't want nothing new
Now you on my phone
How you even know that I was up at night
Kinda want somebody else up in my zone
I'm just playing, but I'm saying
Boy, what took you so long?
Been a minute since you call me, call me, call me, call me
Call me, call me
Been a minute since you got naughty, naughty, naughty, naughty
Naughty, naughty
Been a minute since my body, body, body, body
Been on your body, body
Been a minute since all that, oh yeah
And I think I might want that back
The song "Been A Minute" by Sevyn Streeter is about an ex-lover who comes back into her life after a period of time has passed. When he left, she was able to move on and not think about him, but now that he's back, she finds herself questioning whether she should give him another chance or just keep things as friends. The chorus repeats the phrase "been a minute" to emphasize the length of time that has passed since they were together.
Throughout the verses, Sevyn expresses mixed feelings towards her ex-lover. On one hand, she misses the physical intimacy they shared, as she sings "Been a minute since my body been on your body." On the other hand, she acknowledges that he did her wrong in the past and wonders if she truly wants him back in her life. The line "I'm not sure if I wanna tie you down and f*ck you, or if I just wanna say, f*ck you" shows the conflicted nature of her emotions.
Overall, "Been A Minute" is a relatable song that explores the complexities of past relationships and the feelings that arise when an ex resurfaces in one's life.

I am not sure about my feelings towards you. I don't know if I want to continue our relationship or just have sexual encounters. I won't forget how you treated me, but I do miss the way we used to be intimate. You confuse me, and I don't want anything new in my life, yet here you are, knowing when I'm available at night. I'm not serious about someone else, but I'm jokingly asking what took you so long to contact me again.
