Ready for Love

Neon lights on a cloudy night Midnight buses passing by Walking on the sidewalk with my hand in yours And it's only when we've had a drink Our best friends say what they all think That you look at me like the way I look at you But you talk me down When I try to close the gap Saying that you want to do me right 'Cause you know yourself Even if we're both in love You say that you're not good enough You tell me that you'll hurt me like they hurt you 'Cause it's all you know 'Cause I'm ready for love, but you tell me off Say that I'll fall for a broken heart But I just want to hold you like you're holding him And you tell me I'm different from those guys So I don't get more than a kiss goodnight But then you go and break me when you're holding him I've spent the night lookin' in your eyes On your bed by the candlelight Talking 'bout your mama fighting with your dad And the past three guys were a bit like me Your latest ex is the one you see You're trying, but the cycle's not about to stop But you talk me down When I try to close the gap Saying that you want to me right 'Cause you know yourself Even if we're both in love You say that you're not good enough You tell me that you'll hurt me like they hurt you 'Cause it's all you know 'Cause I'm ready for love, but you tell me off Say that I'll fall for a broken heart But I just want to hold you like you're holding him And you tell me I'm different from those guys So I don't get more than a kiss goodnight But then you go and break me when you're holding him
