(M. Riperton  R. Rudolph)

Now I see how everything has led me to this day
Every road I've walked upon, each lesson on the way
I'm gatherin' up everything I know to be true
I'll wrap it up in breath of Spring, that's what I'll bring to you
'Cause this will be the first time I've lived with a man
I want so bad to please you, Ill do everything I can
I will
I'm gettin' ready for your love... I wanna be ready for love
I'm gettin' ready for your love... I wanna give you all my love
I'm rockin' steady on your love... I wanna be ready for love
I'm gettin' ready for your love... I wanna be ready for love
I remember back when first we met and felt the urge
We commenced to emulate the bees and the birds
And what began as pure and simple passion... love lust
quickly grew to deeper understanding, warmth and trust
I've been singing love songs all day long
