Ain't Gonna Come Till I'm Ready

(album: Goodbye Jumbo - 1990)

And you thought I was just holding on to the past
Believed these eyes could never see, ah
In your face there are things I don't need
You take slaves when you make us free
When you make us free your way

And I ain't gonna come till I'm ready
I ain't gonna come till I'm ready, noh
Ain't gonna come till I'm ready, I'm ready
I ain't gonna come till I'm ready, oh
Ain't gonna come till I'm ready, I'm ready
I ain't gonna come till I'm ready
I ain't gonna come till I'm ready, I'm ready
I ain't gonna come till I'm, oh yeah

I can see what you're all about
Yo make us keep it in then we should let it out
I'll get even some day, ah
You got it perfect now if you realise
That sometimes you have to be nice
Or there'll be hell to pay

And I ain't gonna come till I'm ready, I'm ready
Ain't gonna come till I'm ready, noh
Ain't gonna come till I'm ready, I'm ready
Ain't gonna come till I'm ready, I'm ready
Ain't gonna come till I'm ready, noh ooh

I ain't gonna come till I'm ready, I'm ready
I ain't gonna come till I'm ready, noh
Ain't gonna come till I'm ready, I'm ready
No, I ain't gonna come till I'm ready
