As I stand alone
On this moonful night
For the first time I feel alone in life
And as I watch the moon
Kiss the starlit skies
I feel the need for your lips
To press close to mine
For so long, I've been afraid of love
But right now, I feel the need for love
And you, you have the love
(Ooh, you have the love that I need)
The love I need, ooh, to comfort me
(To comfort me when I'm in need)
Hey, and I'm ready for love
I'm truly ready for love
Your wonderful, sweet, sweet love
Right now, I'm ready for love
I'm ready right now
I'm ready right now
I've tried to shield my heart
From love's tender touch
'Cause to lose in love
Could hurt so much
But as I softly walk in my solitude
I searched my heart and found
There's a need for you
And for the first time I feel alone
(Ready for love, ready for love)
'Cause I need a love to call my own
(Ready for love, ready for love)
(Ready for love)
And only you, you have the love
(Ooh, you have the love that I need)
The love I need, ooh, to comfort me
(To comfort me when I'm in need)
Baby, I'm ready for love
I'm truly ready for love
Your wonderful, sweet, sweet love
Right now, I'm ready for love
Ooh, I'm ready for love
I'm truly ready for love
Your wonderful, sweet, sweet love
Right now, I'm ready for love
I'm ready right now
I'm ready right now
I'm ready right now
I'm ready right now
Ooh, something wonderful
Has come over me
And filled this heart of mine with ecstasy
I'm glad I've finally opened up my eyes
And pushed the fear of love
The fear of love aside
And for the first time I feel alive
(Ready for love, ready for love)
I have touched the love deep down inside
(Ready for love, ready for love)
(Ready for love)
And just as soon as I see your smiling face
(Ooh, you have the love that I need)
I'll rush into your warm embrace
(To comfort me when I'm in need)
Ooh, and I'm ready for love
I'm truly ready for love
Your wonderful, sweet, sweet love
Right now, I'm ready for love
Ooh, I'm ready for love
Ooh, baby, I'm ready for love
I'm your, your sweet, sweet love
I said, I'm ready for love
Oh, baby, yeah
(Ready for love)
I said, I'm ready for love
Your wonderful, sweet, sweet love
Baby, I'm ready, come and get your love
(Ready for love)
(Ready for love)
(Ready for love)
(Sweet, sweet love)
(Ready for love)
(Ready for love)
(Ready for love)
(Sweet, sweet love)
(Ready for love...)
