Better Be Ready

I was only 12 years old

When I found out about love

Love was blond and 17

And in my brother's class

Restless days and sleepless nights

Trying to catch his eye

Wheelie on my little bike

But on my letters no reply

And then summer took him away

To another town gone to stay

And it felt like love was pain

But I found out

Just today

You better be ready

When love comes around for you

You better be ready

Cause a chance may come real soon

You better be ready

When love comes around for you

It's bound to come on through

Time went slow but I grew up fast

And summer can last a year

Waiting for my time to come

And for my love to reappear

And let destiny take us away

To another town gone to stay

And two hearts will feel the same

So watch out now

Today is the day

You better be ready

When love comes around for you

You better be ready

Cause a chance may come real soon

You better be ready

When love comes around for you

It's bound to come on through

There is love somewhere for you

You better be ready

When love comes around for you

You better be ready

Cause a chance may come real soon

You better be ready

When love comes around for you

It's bound to come on through

There is love somewhere for you

Yeah

Oh, you better be ready

He, hey
