I suspect that you mean that you don't have an undergraduate degree, or bachelor's degree. A graduate degree is one you get AFTER that, and the MBA is an example of a graduate degree. You cannot get an MBA without a bachelor's degree, but there are some schools which offer 5-year programs which cover both the undergraduate AND the MBA degree. Usually you start taking some MBA classes as you are finishing your undergraduate degree. Yes, you can usually find a quick MBA to take after getting your bachelor's degree in another year, but the 5-year programs can give you access to better programs, which would usually be two-year MBAs, at better schools.
I don't really advise this for the average undergraduate student, because it turns the MBA into a set of extra classes, taken at the same time while you still have no prior work experience. I've known people who did this and resented it, because they found that most employers didn't really value their MBAs.
It may be useful if you are a nontraditional (older) student with substantial work experience, who just never got your bachelor's degree at the usual time. It would allow you to finish two good degrees in slightly less time than usual, and since you would already have the work experience that the MBA usually assumes, you would be ready to get more out of it than the average 22 year old.

you need a bachelors degree to get into graduate school. if you really want an mba, get your bachelors degree in a business management major such as marketing, real estate, management, finance, accounting, information decision systems, and the like... typically takes around 4 years, but dedicated people can do it in 3 and in rare cases, 2 years!
good luck man!
