Reaching an unfortunate peak of #48 on Billboard’s R&B chart, this funky single by Chaka Khan demonstrates her silky voice along with a soothing instrumental, an undeniable album favourite.
[Verse 1]
Night's gonna fall
Letting the stars shine through
And time on the wall
Bringing me closer to the one I want
I can't wait no more, no
Lost like a child
Even my knees are shaking
Caught for a while
Under a wave that's breaking over me
In his arms I float
[Pre-Chorus]
When he looks at me that way
I know just what he'll say
[Chorus]
Get ready, get set
You ain't seen nothing yet
All day, all night
Here's something you can't forget
I said get ready, get set
You ain't seen nothing yet
All day, all night
Here's something you can't forget
[Verse 2]
I could try
Imagining something better than you and I
Making sweet love together
Taking me much further than before, oh yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
When I start to feel this way
I know just what he'll say
[Chorus]
Get ready, get set
You ain't seen nothing yet
All day, all night
Here's something you can't forget
I said get ready, get set
You ain't seen nothing yet
All day, all night
Here's something you can't forget
[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh
Get ready, get ready, baby, baby
Oh, oh
When he looks at me that way
I know just what he'll say
[Chorus]
Get ready, get set
You ain't seen nothing yet
All day, all night
Here's something you can't forget
I said get ready, get set
You ain't seen nothing yet
All day, all night
Here's something you can't forget
[Outro]
Na na na na, na na na, na na na
Na na na na, na na na, na na na
Get ready, get set
You ain't seen nothing yet
All day, all night
Here's something you can't forget
Na na na na, na na na, na na na
Na na na na, na na na, na na na
Get ready, get set
You ain't seen nothing yet
All day, all night
Here's something you can't forget
