Ready for the World

I got a thing to say
I gotta see your face
'Cause, baby, oh, I've changed
I gotta break it down to you
Now don't forget it's me
This ain't no... these thangs
It ain't the same, oh no, baby
I don't want you lookin' like a fool
Baby, I'm fallin' out of love with you
I can't go on pretending that I love you
Baby, I'm fallin' out of love with you
I can't go on pretending that I want you
Don't want your love
I can't pretend no more
I had to let you know
I didn't want to make you wait
To find another love that wasn't true
Didn't want to tell your friends
I knew that they would tell you then
And that'll break your heart again
And I want us to continue being friends, but
Baby, I'm fallin' out of love with you (fallin' out of love)
I can't go on pretending that I love you (that I love you)
Baby, I'm fallin' out of love with you
I can't go on pretending that I want you
Don't want your love no more
Living on lies
You know I've tried
Living on; night-tears and over-cryin'
No, no, no, no
Living in pains, jumping on these thangs
You know what I'm sayin', babe
Don't want your love no more
Baby, I'm fallin' out of love wit' you (I'm fallin' out of love)
I can't go on pretending that I love you
(I don't love you, baby; no)
Baby, I'm fallin' out of love wit' you
I'm fallin' out of love wit' you
I can't, no; thinkin' I'm in love no more
Don't want to break your heart, no, no
But you gotta know
That I didn't care
The love that I gave ya

It never really mattered too much to me
That you were just too damned old for me
All that really mattered was you were my boyfriend
And baby that's all that matters to me

[Chorus]
Let me love you down, even if it takes all night
Let me love you down, you know it's got to be so right

Remember when you drove me home from work?
I loved the way you only kissed me bye
All of your friends think I'm just too young for you
So tell them that I can do what girls their age can do
Aw babe

[Chorus: x2]
Aw

It never really mattered too much to me
That they were just too damned blind to see
As long as I can love you down baby just be my man
That's all that matters to me

[Chorus]

Let me love you down
Ooh

Let me love you down,
I know, I know I could
Love you down, down, ooh
Love you down, down, no no no no no no no
Let me love you, I want to love you, down
Let me love you, I want to love you, down baby

Sitting here thinking of the summer we shared
How you went away baby, you never knew I cared
Your picture on my pillow, tears down the side
I never will forget it baby, I need you in my life

Don't you wanna wait for me like I wait for you
Do you ever think of me like I think of you
Don't you wanna wait for me

You're so far away baby, but you are on my mind
Holding hands on the boardwalk on our favorite ride
On the beach where we met aw baby, footsteps in the sand
I remember like yesterday, reflections of your hands

Don't you wanna wait for me like I wait for you
Do you ever think of me like I think of you
Don't you wanna wait for me

Sitting here thinking of the summer we shared
And how you went away baby, you never knew I cared
Your picture on my pillow, tears down the side
I never will forget it baby, I need you in my life

Don't you wanna wait for me like I wait for you
Do you ever think of me like I think of you
Don't you wanna wait for me, yeah
Don't you wanna wait my baby, yeah
Don't you wanna wait my sugar

Don't you wanna wait
Don't you wanna wait
Don't you wanna wait my baby

You really hurt me
I spend all my days and nights
Trying to be a good friend to you
But you really hurt me
And this time I'm movin' on
So long baby we're through

Chorus:
So I'll be movin' on
In time you look I will be gone
'Cause when I needed you
You were never there for me
So I'll be floating in the breeze
Like a falling leaves
Don't look for me 'cause I'll be moving on

You say you love me
But the only time I know
Is when I beg and plead
Oh, you still say you love me
But the only time I hear is
When I say I'm leaving
So I

(Chorus)

All those times I tried
and all those nights I cried
Did you ever come to me
And try to dry my eyes
All those times you strayed
When you said you'd stay
Those times are gone 'cause now I'm moving on

(Chorus)

Long gone
Don't look for me 'cause I'll be moving on
I be moving on, I be moving on, be moving on
We be moving on, we be moving on
I'll be moving on, I be gone, I be moving you along
She be moving on, she be moving on
I be moving alone....

I've searched the world 'round and 'round
Never to find someone like you
People kept breaking my heart
I started to think love was untrue
Bridge 1
Then came you
>From above
When I was down you'd lift me up
Opened your key you were there
Showed me love said you cared
Baby
Chorus
I found love
Because of you I know
Cause of your love you've shown
Now I can give love back
Baby so many times they would say that they would stay
All of my lifetime
And I believed every word
Until the day they said goodbye
Bridge 2
Then came you
You made it right
I couldn't breath you gave me life
And now I know love so true
Happiness being with you
Chorus
I found love
Because of you I know
Cause of your love you've shown
Now I can give love back
Baby
Chorus
I found love
Because of you I know
Cause of your love you've shown
Now I can give love back
Bridge 2
Chorus
I found love
Because of you I know
Cause of your love you've shown
Now I can give love back
Chorus
I found love
Because of you I know
Cause of your love you've shown
Now I can give love back
Chorus
I found love
Because of you I know
Cause of your love you've shown
Now I can give love back
I can give love back to you

I'm lying in my bed
Hear the clock tickin'
I think of you
Caught up in circles
Confusion, there's nothing new
Flashback, warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcase of memories
Time after
Sometimes you'll picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me
I can't hear what you say
And you say, go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

[Chorus]
If you're lost, you can look
And you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you
I will be waiting
Time after time
Time after time

After my picture fades
And darkness has turned to gray
Watching through windows
You're wondering if I'm okay
Secret stolen
All from deep inside
The 808's on time

[Chorus]

And you say, go slow
I fall behind
The 808's on time

[Chorus: x2]

Time after time
Time after time

I get lonely when your not around
And I wish that you were herre wit me so you kan love me down
You kno I love your kompany, but my momma don't want you hanging wit me
So, until you get a place were we kan hang
