Baby, baby
Ohh ohh baby
What 'bout the nice 'n' easy?
Baby, please, let's be true
What about all the love I give to you?
When you need it from me, boo
What about the times we had?
What about the silly things I say?
That makes my baby laugh
When you're ready to play with me baby (You know what to do)
When you're ready (whenever you're ready, when you're ready)
When you're ready to play with me baby (oh, you know what to do)
When you're ready (come on babe, baby, yeah)
What 'bout the walks that we take?
Holding hands, in the rain yeah
What 'bout the way you say you feel for me?
When you know I feel the same
What about when I'm miles away from you?
What about my love that's true?
Baby whenever you call me, I'll come running to youuuu!
When you're ready to play with me baby (yeah, whenever you're ready)
When you're ready (I'll know what to do, for you)
When you're ready to play with me baby (bay whenever you're ready)
When you're ready (I'll... oh yeah)
When you're ready to play with me baby (I know, just what you need, baby)
When you're ready (you won't ever have to work for anything)
When you're ready to play with me baby (yeah, yeah baby, baby)
When you're ready (call on me, and I'll come runnin')
Whenever you're ready! (oh, oh, nice 'n' easy, easy, easy, easy, oh yeah)
Whenever you're ready!
When you're ready to play with me baby (whenever you're ready, baby!)
When you're ready (I will be right there, when you're ready)
Whenever you're ready!
When you're ready to play with me baby (come onnnn, ooh yeah)
Whenever you're ready!
When you're ready (when you're ready, when you're ready, take your time)
Whenever you're ready!
When you're ready to play with me baby (I'll be waiting for you)

@RellyPendergrass
This album is real legit. Big ups Alfonzo… Dope singer, Dope writer…. Man shout out to Erick Sermon the Legend once again for delivering some great production. Had no clue.. ⚡️
@REALSOMAGURL
man i hate the fact that nobody makes songs like this anymore i miss old skool!!
@misboo2001
WOW!! - I didn't think anyone really knew about this guy. This is def old school. Like 97,98! This is straight up classic. They should have given him more credit and airplay because he is definitely timeless! I keep this in rotation...
@Axine4
One of the best album i bought and i have like 1000. I even bought a second copie in case i looze the other one ! He is brilliant ! Shame he couldn't release a sophomore album in the same genre.
@venece
classsic dude !he doesnt get enough credit for his smooth soulful voice
@DJKeytronikzTV
The fact that Erick Sermon made this beat makes me give him more respect as a producer/musician
@iwillmusic6090
Oh wow I didn’t know that! Great fact! Erick Sermon is a highly underrated producer
@RellyPendergrass
Same thing i said G. New found respect for sure. Produced 70% of this album ⚡️
@user-zw8wk5vw6p
Whoa, what?
@arrytall1
Silky smooth vocals! Sensational ballad!!
