There was a time
I was not so certain
All the games I played
Just multiplied the hurtin'

Mixed emotions
Never knowing right from wrong
I kept it all inside
Pretending to be strong

I'm a woman
To myself I must be true
Finally I believe
I know just what to do

Chorus:
I'm standing up
Willin' and I'm able now
I'm standing up
For the first time in my life
I'm standing up
Now I'm ready for love

I was pushed around
Until I came to find
My insecurity
Was just a state of mind

Even though I only
Had myself to blame
Now I've learnt to trust my heart
And I'll never be the same

I'm a woman
But just like anybody else
I've got a lot to give
Don't wanna keep it to myself

Chorus (x3)

Ready for love...
Ready for love...
Ready for love...
