Just the Lonely Talking Again

[Verse 1]
It's the second time around
For you and I, boy
And believe me, it's confusing me
I'm afraid to say "Let's make up" and all's forgiven
But something tells me I'm headed for heartbreak
So darling, please, I'm praying that
This time, yeah, this time will be different
That you and I can share this dream that I visualize

[Chorus]
Tell me, are you really ready for love, boy
Or is it just the lonely talking again?
Are you really ready for love, boy
Or is it the lonely talking again? (Lonely talking again)

[Verse 2]
Now, the time before
When we got together
You promised you'd be forever true to me
But all I got from you
Was lots and lots of talking
Lonely nights filled with misery

[Bridge]
So baby, please, please tell me now
That when I fulfill your needs
You won't up and leave me
Even though you know I'll let you come back

[Chorus]
Tell me, are you really ready for love, boy
Or is it just the lonely talking again?
Are you really ready for love, boy
Or is it the lonely talking again? (Lonely talking again)

[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh, hey boy, hey baby)
(sweet baby, ah, ah)
(Ooh, sweet baby, do-do-do-do-do)
Really need to know

[Chorus]
Are you really ready for love, boy
Or is it just the lonely talking again?
Are you really ready for love, boy
Or is it the lonely talking again? (Lonely talking again)
(Ooh, ooh)
Are you really ready for love, boy
Or is it just the lonely talking again?
Are you really ready for love, boy
Or is it the lonely talking again? (Lonely talking again)
Tell me now, I really wanna know
Really got to know, oh

[Outro]
Are you really ready for love, boy?
(Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready?)
(Tell me, are you ready?)
Just the lonely talking again?
(Are you ready? Are you ready? Need to know now, boy)
Are you really ready for love, boy
(Really wanna know, really wanna know, I really need to know)
(Are we gonna talk? Are we gonna talk? Are we gonna talk?)
Or is it just the lonely talking again?
(No, no, no, no, no)
Are you really ready for love, boy?
(Need to know, I really wanna know, you tell me now, boy)
Just the lonely talking again
(Gotta know, are you ready? No, no, no, no, no, no, no)
Are you really ready for love, boy?
(I need to know, gotta know, are you ready?)
