From the recording Get Ready
Lyrics
Get Ready (Lyrics and music by D. Wylie)
If you’ve got a mind that can hold contradiction
That’s learned to unwind dedication from addiction
Oh baby get ready, ‘cause you’re ready for love
If you live in a body that provides its own heating
Home to a heart that is honestly beating
Oh baby get ready, ‘cause you’re ready for love
Baby get ready, you’ve got to prepare for something this real
Baby get ready, you’re not going to feel how you think you want to feel
You’ll squirm and you’ll hiss, you’ll resist
You’ll try to talk yourself out of the deal
But if you learn how to stay, and learn how to pray
Get used to an even keel
If you can survive your heart being shattered
And on the other side see how little it mattered
Oh baby get ready, ‘cause you’re ready for love
Baby get ready, you’ve got to prepare for something this real
Baby get ready, you’re not going to feel how you think you want to feel
You’ll squirm and you’ll hiss, you’ll resist
You’ll try to talk yourself out of the deal
But if you learn how to stay, and learn how to pray
Get used to an even keel
If you can survive your heart being shattered
I know you understand how much and how little it matters
Oh baby get ready
Oh baby get ready
Oh baby get ready
‘Cause you’re ready for love
You’re ready for love
You’re ready for love
