Ready for Love
T Sisters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

As I stand alone on this moonful night
For the first time I feel alone in life
And as I watched the moon kiss the starlit skies
I feel the need for your lips to press close to mine

For so long I been afraid to love
But right now I feel the need for love
And you, you have the love, the love I need
To comfort me (when I'm in need)

I'm ready for love
I'm truly ready for love
Your wonderful sweet, sweet love
Right now I'm ready for love

(I'm ready right now, I'm ready right now)

I've tried to shield my heart from love's tender touch
'Cause to lose in love would hurt so much
But as I softly walk in my solitude
I searched my heart and found there's a need for you

And for the first time I feel alone
'Cause I need a love to call my own
And only you, you have the love, the love I need
To comfort me

Baby I'm ready for love
I'm truly ready for love
Your wonderful sweet sweet love
Right now I'm ready for love
I'm ready for love
I'm truly ready for love
Your wonderful sweet sweet love
Right now I'm ready for love

(I'm ready right now, I'm ready right now)
(I'm ready right now, I'm ready right now)

Something wonderful has come over me
And filled this heart of mine with ecstasy
I'm glad I finally opened up my eyes
And pushed the fear of love, the fear of love aside

And for the first time I feel alive
I have the touch of love deep down inside
And just as soon as I see your smiling face
I'll rush into your warm embrace

And I'm ready for love
I'm truly ready for love
You wonderful sweet, sweet love
Right now I'm ready for love
I'm ready for love
Oh baby, I'm ready for love
Your wonderful sweet, sweet love
Right now I'm ready for love

You know I'm ready for love
I'm truly ready for love
Your wonderful sweet, sweet love
Baby I'm ready for love

I'm ready for love
Ready for love
Sweet, sweet love
Ready for love

Ready for love
Ready for love
Sweet, sweet love
Ready for love

Ready for love
Ready for love
Sweet, sweet love
Ready for love
