Ready or not
You're gonna get a taste of love
So, if you've got a change of heart
Stop that before you start
None of this holding back
I thought you knew that
Chorus:
You'can't be doin' that now
Stop it right away
You can't be doin' that now
'Cause I need a little kindness
A little, a little tenderness
A little love somehow
Other loves you've had
Are just a thing of the past
All a part of yesterday
Forever and far away
But, never will I disappear
My love is gonna stay right here
So, none of this pulling back
I thought you knew that
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
What's it about, my love, my love
What's on your mind, now baby love
Answer my call, I'm callin'
Don't stop now that Ive fallen
Don't let a good thing get away
We;ve got forever and a day
To make the whole thing better
That's why I'm gonna leave you never
Instrumental
Repeat Chorus and Fade
