It's the second time around
For you and I, girl
And believe me woman, it's confusing me
I'm afraid to say "let's make up" and, all's forgiven
But something tells me I'm headed for heartbreak
So lady, please, I'm praying that
This time, yeah, this time it will be different
And you, I can share this dream that, visualize
Are you really ready for love, girl
Or is it just the lonely talking again
Are you really ready for love, girl
Or is it the lonely talking again

Now, the time before
When we got together
You promised you'd be forever true to me
All I got from you
Was lots so talking
Lonely nights filled, with misery

So lady, please, please tell me now
That when I fulfill your needs
You won't up and leave me
Even though you know I'll let you come back

Tell me are you really ready for love, girl
Or is it just the lonely talking again
Are you really ready for love, girl
Or is it the lonely talking again

Tell me sugar, please, tell me Are you really ready for love, girl
Or is it the lonely talking again
Are you really ready for love, girl
Or is it the lonely talking again

I wanna know, I wanna know
(Are you really ready for love, girl
Or is it the lonely talking again)
