Get Ready
Ingram James Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Turn down the lights,
Baby turn off the telephone.
Now its time to forget the day you’ve been through.
You don’t say much but now we’re here alone.
There’s just one thing left to do oh woman

You better get ready to give love tonight.
Lay back, relax and let me do it right. lady,
Get ready to give love tonight.
Just leave the rest up to me.

Listen. don’t say a word, baby,
I’ve got this evening planned.
I’m here for you, body and soul.
Just put yourself completely in my hands.
β€˜coz your pleasure is my goal.

Oh uh oh woman

You better get ready (get yourself ready) to give love tonight.
Lay back, relax and let me do it right.
Baby get ready to give love tonight.
Just leave the rest up to me.

Baby better keep the fantasies again.
I’m gonna dedicate myself to making each one come true.
Girl, you’ve given me so many nights I’ll never forget.
I want you to have this one just for you.

Wohoo

Oh you better get ready. I’m gonna love you.
Lay back relax and I’m gonna do it right.
Darlin’, darlin’ baby won’t just go easy to me.
I’m gonna love you.
I’m gonna hold you.
I’m gonna do you right.

You better get ready to give love tonight.
Lay back, relax and let me do it right.




Lady, get ready to give love tonight.
Just leave the rest up to me.
