It’s the second time around for you and I, boy
And believe me it’s confusing me
I’m afraid to say, “Let’s make up” and all’s forgiven”
But somethin’ tells me I’m headed for heartbreak
So darlin’, please, I’m prayin’ that
This time, yeah, this time it will be different
That you and I can share this dream that I visualize
Tell me, are you really ready for love, boy
Or is it just the lonely talking again
Are you really ready for love, boy
Or is it the lonely talking again
Now, the time before when we got together
You promised you’d be forever true to me
But all I got from you was lots and lots of talking
Lonely nights filled with misery
So baby, please, please tell me now
That when I fulfill your needs
You won’t up and leave me
Even though you know I’ll let you come back
Tell me, are you really ready for love, boy
Or is it just the lonely talking again
Are you really ready for love, boy
Or is it the lonely talking again
Sleeping
Sleeping
Really need to know
Really ready for love, boy
Or is it just the lonely talking again
Are you really ready for love, boy
Or is it the lonely talking again
Are you really ready for love, boy
Or is it just the lonely talking again
Are you really ready for love, boy
Or is it the lonely
Tell me now, do you wanna know
Really gotta know, know, are you ready?
Are you ready, are you ready?
Tell me, are you ready
Are you ready? Are you ready?
Need to know, know, know
Really wanna know, really wanna know
Really need to know, know
Are we gonna talk? Are we gonna talk?
Don’t wanna talk, no no no no no
I need to know, I really wanna know
You tell me now, boy, gotta know
Are you ready? No no no no no
Need to know
