Its the second time around for you and I, boy And believe me, its confusing me Im afraid to say lets make up and alls forgiven But somethin tells me Im headed for heartbreak...So darling, please Im praying that this time...yeah This time will be different...that you and I Can share this dream that I visualize.
Chorus: Tell me, are you really ready for love, boy, Or is it just the lonely talking again? Are you really ready for love, boy, Or is it the lonely talking again...?
Now the time before, when we got together You promised youd be forever true to me But all I got from you was lots and lots of talking Lonely nights filled with misery... So baby please, please tell me, now That when I fulfill your needs You wont up and leave me Even though you know Ill let you come back.
