Are You Ready
Kenny Claiborne & The Armed Gang Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Are you ready, pretty baby
Are you ready, follow me
Are you ready, be my lady
Are you ready, come with me

It's your birthday, I met you
I can't do it without you
Girl you make me want to
That you make my dreams come true

You know this way you're driving me crazy
So come with me, I know that you're ready
Don't make me wait, be mine, be my lady
Despite love me, you're leaving me baby

I'm waiting just for you to come
Tonight we'll be the night too long
Don't lose more time, oh baby come
I'm waiting for you
For you
For you

Are you ready, pretty baby
Are you ready, follow me
Are you ready, be my lady
Are you ready, come with me

It's too late to refer
Can I have this dance with you bae?
I can't wait any longer
I be getting you, I'll be yours

I begged our love for such a long time
So please, c'mon, you got to be mine
With me, tonight, you'll be satisfied
Just take a look at me one more time

I'm already said you come to me
You are the one I'd like to meet
And let me tell you how I feel
C'mon, come with me
With me
With me

I'm waiting just for you to come
Tonight we'll be the night too long
Don't lose more time, oh baby come
I'm waiting for you
For you
For you

Are you ready, pretty baby
Are you ready, follow me
Are you ready, be my lady
Are you ready, come with me

Are you ready, pretty baby
Are you ready, be my lady

Are you ready, pretty baby
Are you ready, be my lady

Grande sucesso de 1984 = toda festa de aniversário, baile ou danceteria da época era quase um hino esta música; tocava muito no programa "Hot Line - Linha Quente do Sucesso", comandado pelo grande radialista Toninho Pop.

Dancei muito os pacinhos na TOCO da Vila Matilde-São Paulo- SP dos anos 80(tenho 56 anos maravilhosamente bem vividos). Vivo há 20 anos na Regiao Norte da Alemanha. Abração aos brasileiros saudosos dessa época!
