| 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
|
| 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
|
| But every single second is not enough for you
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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)
|
| But every single second is not enough for you
|
| 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
|
| (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) |
