I'm Ready For Love
The Temptations Lyrics

As I stand alone on this moonful night
At this moment, standing by myself during a moonlit night

for the first time I feel alone in life.
I feel lonely for the first time in my life

As I watched the moon kiss the starlit sky
Observing the moon making contact with the star-filled sky

I feel the need for your lips to press close to mine.
I desire the sensation of your lips touching mine

For so long I been afraid to love,
My fear of love has prevented me from loving for a long time

but right now I feel the need for love
Currently, I have a strong desire for affection

and you, you have the love the love I need
Only you possess the love that satisfies my requirements

to comfort me oo and I'm ready for love
To comfort me at this point, I'm ready for love

truly ready for love your wonderful
Completely prepared for love, your amazing

sweet sweet love right now I'm ready for love.
Affectionate and caring love, I'm ready for it immediately

I've tried to shield my heart from love's tender touch
I've made an attempt to protect myself from experiencing love's gentle sensation

'cause to lose in love would hurt so much;
Because losing in love would result in a substantial emotional pain

but as I softly walk in my solitude
As I walk softly by myself

I searched my heart and found there's a need for you.
I explored my emotions, and I recognized that I need you

and for the first time I feel alone,
I believe I'm lonely for the first time

'cause I need a love to call my own;
Because I need a love that belongs solely to me

and only you, you have the love the love I need
Indeed, only you have the perfect love that I require

to comfort me oo and I'm ready for love
To ease my emotional pain, and at this moment, I'm prepared for love

I'm truly ready for love you know I'm ready for love
I'm actually ready for love; you know I'm prepared for love

your wonderful sweet sweet love
Your delightful, affectionate love

I'm ready right now I'm ready right now.
I'm currently ready for it, and I'm ready for it immediately.

Something wonderful has come over me
Something magnificent has taken control of me

and filled this heart of mine with ecstasy
And has caused my heart to overflow with intense happiness

I'm glad I finally opened up my eyes
I'm pleased that I finally became aware

and pushed the fear of love, the fear of love aside;
And moved away, set aside, the fear of experiencing love.

and for the first time I feel alive
And, for the first time, I feel alive

I have the touch of love deep down inside.
Love's warm touch is rooted deep within me

And just as soon as I see your smiling face
And as soon as I catch a glimpse of your delighted expression

I'll rush into your warm embrace.
I'll quickly head towards you, embracing your delightfully warm hug.

you know I'm ready for love,
Without a doubt, I'm ready for love

I'm truly ready for love,
Indeed, I'm genuinely prepared for love

your wonderful sweet, sweet love
Your lovable, affectionate love

right now I'm ready for love
At this point, I'm ready for love

you know I'm ready for love,
You understand that I'm ready for love

I'm truly ready for love,
I'm genuinely prepared for love

your wonderful sweet, sweet love
Your lovable, affectionate love
