We were sweethearts when we were in High School Our romance just lasted a day or two We kissed 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 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 What happened? I was ashamed to say So instead of the truth I chose misdirection [Spoken] 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--duet] 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 So here is the answer at last to your question: That kiss set a fire I couldn’t contain. I was ashamed of my body's reaction So I ran away from you and my shame. 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 I'm finally ready for you I love you darling [fade]
