One Hour Mama (Take 4) |
| I’ve always heard that haste makes waste |
| So I believe in takin' my time |
| The highest mountain can’t be raced |
| It’s something you must slowly climb |
| I want a slow and easy man |
| He needn’t ever take the lead |
| 'Cause I work on that long-time plan |
| And I ain’t a-lookin' for no speed |
| I’m a one hour mama |
| So no one minute papa |
| Ain’t the kind of man for me |
| Set your alarm clock papa |
| One hour, that’s proper |
| Then love me like I like to be |
| I don’t want no lame excuses |
| 'Bout my lovin' bein' so good |
| That you couldn’t wait no longer |
| Now I hope I’m understood |
| I’m a one hour mama |
| So no one minute papa |
| Ain’t the kind of man for me |
| I can’t stand no greenhorn lover |
| Like a rookie goin' to war |
| With a load of big artillery |
| But don’t know what it’s for |
| He’s got to bring me a reference |
| With a great long pedigree |
| And must prove he’s got endurance |
| Or he don’t mean that to me |
| I don’t like no crowin' rooster |
| What just kicks a lick or two |
| Action is the only booster |
| Of just what my man can do |
| I don’t want no imitation |
| My requirements ain’t no joke |
| 'Cause I’ve got pure indignation |
| For a guy what’s lost his stroke |
| I’m a one hour mama |
| So no one minute papa |
| Ain’t the kind of man for me |
| Set your alarm clock papa |
| One hour, that’s proper |
| Then love me like I like to be |
| I may want love for one hour |
| Then decide to make it two |
| Takes an hour before I get started |
| Maybe three 'fore I’m through |
| I’m a one hour mama |
| So no one minute papa |
| Ain’t the kind of man for me |
