All in all you been there for me; you showed me things I would never see
I think I’m ready
By my side you been waiting respectfully and oh-so patient
I think I’m ready
I feel it in my chest as I dance with you
You got so much control you haven’t made a move
You give me reassurance in the things you do
And that’s why
I think I’m ready
Baby, I’m not afraid
To go the way, but it’s my first time
And, baby, I know you want to change the speed
And I’m-a let you take the lead, but it’s my first time
And, baby, I’m not afraid
To go the way, but it’s my first time
And, baby, I know you want to change the speed
And I’m-a let you take the lead; remember, it’s my first time
On and on, eye to eye, as the music plays, emotions rise
I think I’m ready
In your eyes I see three words; hold me tight ’cause I’m about to burst
I think I’m ready
I feel it in my chest as I dance with you
You got so much control you haven’t made a move
You give me reassurance in the things you do
And that’s why
I think I’m ready
Baby, I’m not afraid
To go the way, but it’s my first time
And, baby, I know you want to change the speed
And I’m-a let you take the lead, but it’s my first time
And, baby, I’m not afraid
To go the way, but it’s my first time
And, baby, I know you want to change the speed
And I’m-a let you take the lead; remember, it’s my first time
