You got to be ready
You got to be ready, yeah
This woman don't like no nonsense
I like lovin' every day
And I don't like to find no evidence, no
To prove you're giving my love away
What more can I say
Except you got to be ready for love
If you wanna be mine
(Ready baby)
You got to be ready for love
If you wanna be mine
You got to be ready
You got to be ready
This woman don't do no handpickin'
And I don't think one look is a felony
And I don't appreciate no rubberneckin', no
'Bout a man, when he's with me
Out in the street
Except you got to be ready for love
If you wanna be mine
(Be ready, baby)
I said you got to be ready for love
If you wanna be mine
You got to be ready
You got to be ready
Ready for love
Ready for love
Got to be ready for love
You got to be ready
You got to be ready
You got to be ready
You got to be ready, yeah
You got to be ready for love
If you wanna be mine
You got to be ready for love
If you wanna be mine
(Be ready, baby)
Can't be a cold lover
Just like my old lover
If you wanna be mine
You got to get ready
You got to stay ready
If you wanna be mine
(Be ready, baby)
