[Verse 1]
I am ready for love
Why are you hiding from me?
I'd quickly give my freedom
To be held in your captivity
I am ready for love
All of the joy and the pain
And all the time that it takes
Just to stay in your good grace

[Verse 2]
Lately I've been thinking
Maybe you're not ready for me
Maybe you think I need to learn maturity
They say watch what you ask for
'Cause you might receive
But if you ask me tomorrow
I'll say the same thing

[Verse 3]
I am ready for love
Would you please lend me your ear?
I promise I won't complain
I just need you to acknowledge I am here

[Verse 4]
If you give me half a chance
I'll prove this to you
I will be patient, kind, faithful and true
To a man who loves music
A man who loves art
Respects the spirit world
And thinks with his heart, oh

[Verse 5]
I am ready for love
If you'll take me in your hands
I will learn what you teach
And do the best that I can

[Verse 6]
I am ready for love
Here with an offering of
My voice, my eyes
My soul, my mind
Tell me what is enough
To prove I am ready for love
I am ready
