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 proove 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 fellony

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)
