I Want to Be Ready

I wanna be ready when the hurt comes my way

I wanna be ready when the hurt comes my way, yeah

I wanna know what's happenin' to me

Wanna know how you could let this be, yeah

And I wanna be ready when the hurt comes my way

I wanna feel happy when I see you close the door

I wanna feel happy when I see you close the door, yeah

I want to know that this is for real

'Cause good is a way that I want to feel

And I wanna be ready when the hurt comes my way, mmm

Now once I had a love, and she was good to me

But I was so wrapped in her that I couldn't even see

I thought nobody else could turn me on

She gived me love 'til I was almost gone

And I wanna be ready when the hurt comes my way

I wanna be ready when the hurt comes my way

Ready, hoo-ooh-ooh, ready

I wanna be, I wanna be ready

Hoo-ooh-ooh, ready

I got to be, I got to be ready

Hoo-ooh-ooh, ready

I got to be, I got to be ready

Hoo-ooh-ooh, ready

I wanna be, I wanna be ready

Hoo-ooh-ooh
