YOU NEVER EVER GIVE ME WHAT I WANT
YOU ONLY GIVE ME WHAT YOU THINK I NEED
SOMETIMES I TELL MYSELF
THIS WHOLE DAMN WORLD MEANS NOTHING AT
ALL TO ME
BUT THEN I SEE YOUR FACE
AND I KNOW
I'M ALMOST READY FOR LOVE

PEOPLE COME AND PEOPLE GO
I THOUGHT THIS WAS THE REAL THING
I TRY TO MAKE IT HAPPEN
BUT YOU DIDN'T WANT ME TO

ALL THIS TIME I THOUGHT
WE WERE MADE FOR EACH OTHER
BUT I WAS FOOLIN' FROM THE START
OH I DON'T KNOW HOW IT'S LIKE
TO BE LOVED BY SOMEBODY
WHO DOESN'T BUILD YOU UP
BEFORE TEARIN' YOU APART

ALMOST READY FOR LOVE
ALMOST...

YOU NEVER PAY ATTENTION TO A THING I DO
YOU NEVER LISTEN TO WHAT I SAY
SOMETIMES I TELL MYSELF
BUT I DON'T KNOW I'M A LEAVING THIS MAN TODAY
AND THEN I SEE YOUR FACE
AND I KNOW
I'M ALMOST READY FOR LOVE

YOU TOLD ME REALLY THAT I'M THE ONLY ONE
BUT I CAN SEE THROUGH ALL THE LIES
YOU TELL ME BABE
THAT EVRYTHING IS GONNA WORK OUT FINE
BUT AT THE END OF THE NIGHT
WHEN YOU HOLDIN' ME TIGHT
SOMETHING INSIDE OF ME DIES

ALMOST READY FOR LOVE
ALMOST READY...
