The sun don't shine 'round here no more,
and I know it won't be long.
I hope I see you out tonight,
and I hope we get it on.

'Cause I'm ready
to love somebody.
I'm ready, I'm ready,
let's go.

Whatever you heard about me before,
believe me, things ain't what they were.
Whenever you look at me or talk to me,
you still sound just like her.

And I'm ready, I'm ready
to love somebody.
I'm ready, I'm ready
to love somebody.

Seldom seen and in between,
and I know it won't be long,
bittersweet and evergreen
until we get it on.

Now I'm ready...
