Lyrics Whenever You're Ready - Mahalia

Whenever You're Ready

I won’t lie to you
Said you needed space in a rage, I was scared to say
Bye to you
I didn’t understand why you ran away, what was I
Supposed to do?
Terrified that the end of us would end my life
Till I realized
That you ain’t nothing without me
I’m nothing without you
There’s too much history
Yeah, we got something good
But I’ma set you free
You won’t be gone for good
No I’m not worried
So whenever you’re ready, I’ll be here
Love you if you let me, you’ll see dear
You’ll never forget me, let’s be clear
Whenever you’re ready (When you’re ready come back to my loving arms)
Yeah, I know you’re mad at me
But I ain’t gonna cry 'cause you told me you’re protecting your sanity
And it don’t matter either way, at the end of the day you’re still
Bound to me
You can hide, but the truth is you’ll always be mine
You don’t realize
That you ain’t nothing without me
I’m nothing without you
It ain’t too hard to see
That we got something good
But I’ma set you free
You won’t be gone for good
No I’m not worried
So whenever you’re ready, I’ll be here
Love you if you let me, you’ll see dear
You’ll never forget me, let’s be clear
So whenever you’re ready (I'll take you in with open arms, yeah)
Whenever you’re ready, ready, ready, ready
Come back to my loving arms
No, I’m not begging on my knees
Holding on for you to stay
If you gotta go then you gotta go
I gotta let you be on your way
But come and give me one more kiss
And tell me that the feeling’s changed
You know it ain’t, so baby
Whenever you’re ready, I’ll be here
Love you if you let me, you’ll see dear
You’ll never forget me, let’s be clear
Whenever you’re ready (Come back to my loving arms)
Whenever you’re ready, I’ll be here
Even if you left me, you’ll reappear
You’ll never forget me, let’s be clear
So whenever you’re ready (I'll take you in with open arms)
