Ready for Love

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)
