Ready for the Real Thing

Dead on my feet, got a deadline to meet

But it can wait, can't concentrate

This one-track mind won't leave you behind

Why punish me with memories

If only now I could turn back the pages

I played some games that I've lived to regret

I only wish I had gone through those stages

Years before we met, but I know

This time I'm ready for the real thing

Last time I couldn't be true

This time I'm ready for the real thing too

Turn on the light, I've been tossing all night

I try to read but it's love that I need

In my mind, the sound of goodbye

Keeps hauntin' me like a distant dream

If only now I could turn back the pages

I played some games that I've lived to regret

I only wish I had gone through those changes

Years before we met, and baby

This time I'm ready for the real thing

Last time I couldn't be true

This time I'm ready for the real thing too

This time I'm ready for the real thing

Last time I couldn't be true

This time Get ready for the real thing

'Cause this time baby I'm ready for you
