Bettye LaVette - Supreme Soul: Bettye Lavette

I'm Ready for Love

I'm ready right now
I'm ready right now
I'm ready right now
I'm ready right now
Oh-uh-uh, uh

As I stand alone on the moon full night
For the first time, I feel alone in life
As I watched the moon kiss the starlit sky
I feel the need for your lips pressing close to mine

For so long (ready for love)
I was been afraid to love (ready for love)
But right now (ready for love) I feel the need for love (ready for love, ready for love)
Only you, you have the love, the love I need (that I need)
Oh, to comfort me (internally)

Ooh, and I'm ready for love
I need your sweet, sweet love (ready for love)
I tell you I'm ready for love
Your wonderful sweet, sweet love (ready for love)

I've tried to shield my heart from your tender touch
'Cause to lose in love would hurt so much
But as I softly walk in my solitude
I searched my heart and found there's a need for you

And for the first time (ready for love)
I feel alone (ready for love)
I've got a love (ready for love)
A love to call my own (ready for love, ready for love)
Only you (you), you have the love, the love I need (that I need)
Oh, to comfort me (internally)

Ooh, I'm ready for love
I mean your sweet, sweet love (ready for love)
Gotcha, I'm ready for love (ready for love)
Your wonderful sweet, sweet love (ready for love)

Oh! I'm ready (right now)
Oh! I'm ready (right now)

Something wonderful has come over me
And it's filled my heart to love ecstasy
Finally, I opened, opened up my eyes
And I pushed the fear of love, pushed it to the other side

And for the first time (ready for love)
I feel alive (ready for love)
I have the touch of love (ready for love)
Deep down inside (ready for love, ready for love)

And just as soon as I see your face (you, you have the love)
I'd come rushing into your arms (that I need)
Feel your warm embrace (to comfort me, internally)
'Cause only you, you have the love (you, you have the love)
The love I need (that I need)
Oh, to comfort me (internally)

Ooh, and I'm ready for love (you, you have the love)
Your wonderful sweet, sweet love (that I need)
I mean, I'm ready for love
Your wonderful sweet, sweet love (to comfort me internally)

I'm ready for love
Oh, oh
I'm ready
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh
