(Timbaland:)
I'm outta time and all I got is 4 minutes
[Freaky freaky]
4 minutes, Eh

Come on, ah
Yeah, hah
Breakdown, come on

(Justin Timberlake:)
Hey, uh

(Madonna:)
Come on boy
I've been waiting for somebody to pick up my stroll
Uh

(Justin Timberlake:)
Well, don't waste time
Give me the sign
Tell me how you wanna roll
Mmm

(Madonna:)
I want somebody to speed it up for me
Then take it down slow
There's enough room for both

(Justin Timberlake:)
Well, I can handle that
You just gotta show me where it's at
Are you ready to go
Are you ready to go

(Madonna and Justin Timberlake:)
If you want it
You already got it
If you thought it
It better be what you want
If you feel it
It must real just
Say the word and I will give you what you want

(Madonna:) Time is waiting
(Justin Timberlake:) We only got 4 minutes to save the world
(Madonna:)No hesitating
(Madonna:)Grab a boy
(Justin Timberlake:) Then grab a girl
(Madonna:) Time is waiting
(Justin Timberlake:)We only got 4 minutes to save the world
(Madonna:) No hesitating
(Justin Timberlake:) We only got 4 minutes, huh, 4 minutes

(Justin Timberlake:)
So keep it up, keep it up
Don't be a pri-[hey]-madonna
(Madonna and Justin Timberlake:) You gotta get 'em a hop
(Madonna:)Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
(Justin Timberlake:) That's right
Keep it up, keep it up
Don't be a pri-[hey]-madonna
(Madonna and Justin Timberlake:) You gotta get 'em a hop
(Madonna:)Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock

(Madonna:)
Sometimes I think what I need is a you intervention, yeah

(Justin Timberlake:)
And you know I can tell that you like it
And that it's good
By the way that you move
Oh, hey

(Madonna:)
The road to hell is paved with good intentions, yeah

(Justin:)
But if I die tonight, at least I can say I did what I wanted to do
Tell me how 'bout you

(Timbaland:) Breakdown, yeah
(Madonna:)Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
(Timbaland:)Yeah, uh
(Madonna:) Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
(Timbaland:) I only got 4 minutes to save the world

Caryn Ganz of Rolling Stone said, “4 Minutes” [is] a loud, busy, energetic track. “4 Minutes” has a bit of a marching band aesthetic…a hard, clanging beat enters and Madonna sings that the “road to heaven is paved with good intentions.”
