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

(* Repeat)

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
