[Intro] [Verse] We were sweethearts when we were in High School Our romance just lasted one day or two We kissed just one kiss in your kitchen I just wasn't ready for you Chorus] I wasn't ready I just wasn't ready I just wasn't ready for you No I wasn't ready I just wasn't ready I just wasn't ready for you [Verse] I ran in the other direction I tried to avoid you after that day But you came to my house and asked me a question [Spoken] What happened? I was afraid to say So instead of the truth I chose misdirection [Spoken, aside] That's a nice name for lying [Singing] I said that my feelings had drifted away But what I told you Was simply not true I just wasn't ready for you [Chorus] [Verse] So here is the answer at last to your question That kiss that you gave me evoked a reaction I just wasn't ready. I needed protection [comically] To tell you the truth I got an erection. [Chorus] [Verse] But finally I found you, and told you the truth And we became friends as we'd been in our youth And you came to love me and I to love you And now we're together again [Chorus] And now I am ready All these years to be ready I'm finally ready for you [slowly] I'm finally ready for you [fade]
