One Hour Mama

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
Cause I'm a one hour mama
No one minute papa
Ain't the kind of man for me
It takes a long time papa
One hour, that's proper
To love me like I long to be

Why, 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
Cause I'm a one hour mama
No one minute papa
Ain't the kind of man for me

I don't want no greenhorn lover
Like a rookie goin' to war
With a load of big artillery
But he don't know what it's for
