It's the second time around
For you and I, boy
And believe me, it's confusing me
I'm afraid to say "let's make up" and "all's forgiven,"
But something tells me I'm headed for heartbreak
So darling, please, I'm praying that
This time, yeah, this time it will be different
That you and I can share this dream that I visualize

Tell me are you really ready for love, boy?
Or is it just the lonely talking again?
Are you really ready for love, boy?
Or is it the lonely talking again?

Now, the time before
When we got together
You promised you'd be forever true to me
But all I got from you
Was lots and lots of talking
Lonely nights filled with misery

So baby, please, please tell me now
That when I fulfill your needs
You won't up and leave me
Even though you know I'll let you come back

Tell me are you really ready for love, boy?
Or is it just the lonely talking again?
Are you really ready for love, boy?
Or is it the lonely talking again?

Really ready for love?

Really ready for love?
Or is it just the lonely talking again?
Are you really ready for love, boy?
Or is it the lonely talking again?

Are you really ready for love, boy?
Or is it just the lonely talking again?
Are you really ready for love, boy?
Or is it the lonely talking again?
