Adlibs:
Cha
Ah yeah

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 will be different
And you and I can share this dream that I visualize
Tell me

Chorus:
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

Chorus

Adlibs:
Ooh ooh ooh, sweet baby
Huh, hah
Do, sweet thing
Do do do do do do do do do do do
Really need to know

Chorus (2x)

Adlibs:
Tell me know, really want to know
Really got to know
Are you ready, are you ready, are you ready
Tell me are you ready
Are you ready, are you ready, need to know now boy
Really wanna know, really wanna know
Really need to know now boy
Are we gonna talk, are we gonna talk, are we gonna talk
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
I really wanna know, I really wanna know
You tell me now boy
Gotta know, are you ready
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
I need to know, gotta know
Are you ready, are you ready for love
