Ready For Love

[Intro]
(indistinct vocals)

[Verse One]
Every time I feel like bein' alone
You ask for my attention
Silence at the door, no
But you came back for more
It wasn't right

[Verse Two]
Every time that I hang up the phone
You dial the extension, oh
Ask the operator
For the strongest stuff he has
Under the knife

[Bridge]
But every single second is not enough for you

[Chorus]
Nobody's ever ready for love
Ready for love
The way that you are baby
Nobody's ever ready for love
Ready for love
The way that you are baby

[Verse Three]
Can't forget the days you picked me up
And left me in suspension, oh
High above the water
On a bridge that's breakin' up
With every pound

[Verse Four]
But I need to believe that the Lord above is pleased
With His invention (-vention, -vention, -vention,) oh
So I'll pretend I'm weak, yeah
I'll turn the other cheek
And won't make a sound (Oh)

[Bridge]
But every single second is not enough for you

[Chorus]
Nobody's ever ready for love
Ready for love
The way that you are baby
Nobody's ever ready for love
Ready for love
The way that you are baby
Nobody's ever ready for love
Ready for love
The way that you are baby
Nobody's ever ready for love
Ready for love
The way that you are baby

[Outro]
(Oh, you're so ready, oh)
(I just can't take it anymore, no)
('Cause I been tryin' for so long)
(But you can't get away for a second, oh, no)
