Ready For The Real Thing

(album: Caught In The Game - 1983)

Dead on my feet got a deadline to meet,
But it can wait can't concentrate
This one-track mind won't leave you behind
Why punish me with memories
If only now I could turn back the pages
I played some games that I've lived to regret,
I only wish I had gone through those stages
Years before we met
But I know

This time
I'm ready for the real thing,
Last Time
I couldn't be true,
This time
I'm ready for the real thing too

Turn on the light, I've been tossing all night,
I try to read but it's love that I need
In my mind the sound of goodbye,
Keeps haunting me like a distant dream
If only now I could turn back the pages
I played some games that I've lived to regret,
I only wish I had gone through those changes
Years before we met
And baby

This time
I'm ready for the real thing,
Last Time
I couldn't be true,
This time
I'm ready for the real thing too

This time
I'm ready for the real thing,
Last time
I couldn't be true,
This time
Get ready for the real thing,
Cause this time baby
I'm ready for you
