(intro - echoed reverb vocal effect) i'd love you forrevaa.. and evaa but your not readyy... (not ready) for my love.... ----- Chorus You're not ready for my love, no, no, no, Not ready for the fire that I hold. You're not ready for my love, no, no, no, Not ready for the fire that I hold. It takes more than sweet words and chemistry. When you're ready to rise above that, Maybe then you'll be ready for my love. Verse 1 You like the sunshine, but you run from the rain, Want the diamonds without the pressure and pain. You say forever when the nights feel right, But disappear when it's time to fight. I carry oceans in a single touch, Real love ain't easy when it means this much. I gave you pieces, I gave you signs, But your heart ain't moving in rhythm with mine. Pre-Chorus Love ain't a game, ain't a temporary high, It takes two souls that are willing to try. You want the feeling, but not what it costs, Baby, true love can't survive getting lost. Chorus You're not ready for my love, no, no, no, Not ready for the fire that I hold. You're not ready for my love, no, no, no, Not ready for the fire that I hold. It takes more than sweet words and chemistry. When you're ready to rise above that, Maybe then you'll be ready for my love. Verse 2 I don't do halfway, I don't do pretend, I love like a home, not a place to visit again. Through the laughter, through the tears, I'm the kind that stays for years. But you keep dancing with one foot outside, Keeping your feelings somewhere to hide. I need a heart that can stand in the storm, Not one that only loves when it's warm. Pre-Chorus Love ain't a game, ain't a temporary high, It takes two souls that are willing to try. You want the feeling, but not what it costs, Baby, true love can't survive getting lost. Chorus You're not ready for my love, no, no, no, Not ready for the fire that I hold. You're not ready for my love, no, no, no, Not ready for the fire that I hold. It takes more than sweet words and chemistry. When you're ready to rise above that, Maybe then you'll be ready for my love. (instrumental break solo) Bridge My love is patient, my love is strong, It knows the right from what feels wrong. I won't shrink just to fit your fears, I've built this heart through all these years. So if you ever learn what devotion means, And stop chasing temporary dreams, You might find me where the faithful stand, With an open heart and an open hand. Final Chorus You're not ready for my love, not today, But I hope you find your own way. 'Cause baby, mine is the deepest stuff. You're not ready for my love, that's alright, One day you'll understand this light. Till then I'll keep my spirit above, 'Cause not everybody's ready for my love. Outro (repetitive fade) Not ready... not ready... For my love... for my love... Not ready... not ready... For my love... for my love... but Maybe someday baby... you'll be ready for my love..
