Ready For Love - India.Arie, India Arie

I am ready for love

Why are you hiding from me

I’d quickly give my freedom

To be held in your captivity

I am ready for love

All of the joy and the pain

And all the time that it takes

Just to stay in your good grace

Lately I’ve been thinking

Maybe you’re not ready for me Maybe you think I need to learn maturity

They say watch what you ask for

Cause you might receive

But if you ask me tomorrow

I’ll say the same thing

I am ready for love

Would you please lend me your ear?

I promise I won’t complain

I just need you to acknowledge I am here

If you give me half a chance

I’ll prove this to you

I will be patient, kind, faithful and true

To a man who loves music

A man who loves art

Respect’s the spirit world

And thinks with his heart

I am ready for love

If you’ll take me in your hands

I will learn what you teach

And do the best that I can

I am ready for love

Here with an offering of My voice

My Eyes

My soul

My mind

Tell me what is enough

To prove I am ready for love

I am ready
