〈Verse 1〉I look in the mirror, what do I see?
Ain't no magna cum laude staring back at me
Qualifications leave a lot to be desired
I guess I fall way below the standard required
〈Chorus〉It'll only take a minute, only take a minute of your precious time
Now it'll only take a minute, only take a minute or two
It'll only take a minute, only take a minute of your precious time
But you've always got something a little more precious to do
〈Verse 2〉Am I on a wild goose chase? Am I in an obstacle race
Trailing far behind ya, far behind ya, far behind you
I ain't got much curb appeal but you know how I feel
The sky's the limit if you were only in it, if only you were in it
〈Chorus〉It'll only take a minute, only take a minute of your precious time
It'll only take a minute, only take a minute or two
It'll only take a minute, only take a minute of your precious time
But you've always got something a little more precious to do
〈Verse 3〉Am I on the firing line? Am I just a waste of time?
But I'd go anywhere, do anything you want me to
You're such an unbelievable force, I'm on an obstacle course
And the sky's the limit if you were only in it, if only you were in it
〈Chorus〉It'll only take a minute, only take a minute of your precious time
It'll only take a minute, only take a minute or two
It'll only take a minute, only take a minute of your precious time
But you've always got something a little more precious to do
Oh, yeah
But you've always got something a little more precious to do
〈Verse 4〉Forget Alpha or Beta, Mensa beware
If you're looking for genius, there ain't nothin' there
While I look in the mirror, what do I see?
There's a whole other mirror out there and it's laughing at me
