INDIA.ARIE - I Am Ready For Love Lyrics

I am ready for love, why are you hiding from me?
I'd quickly give my freedom to be held in your captivity
I am ready for love, all of the joy and the pain
And all the time that it takes just to stay in your good grace

Lately, I've been thinking maybe you're not ready for me
Maybe you think I need to learn maturity
They say watch what you ask for 'cause you might receive
But if you ask me tomorrow, I'll say the same thing

I am ready for love would you please lend me your ears
I promise, I won't complain, I just need you to acknowledge I am here
If you give me half a chance, I will prove this to you
I will be patient, kind, faithful and true

To a man who loves music, a man who loves art
Respects the spirit world and thinks with his heart
I am ready for love if you'll take me in your hands
I will learn what you teach and do the best that I can

I am ready for love here with an offering arm
My voice, my eyes, my soul, my mind
Tell me what is enough to prove I am ready for love
I am ready
