Survivor - Ready For The Real Thing Lyrics

Dead on my feet, got a deadline to meet
But it can wait, can't concentrate
This one track mind won't leave you behind
Why punish me with memories?

If only now I could turn back the pages
(Turn back the pages)
I played some games that I've lived to regret
(I played)
I only wish, I had gone through those stages
Years before we met but I know

This time I'm ready for the real thing
Last time I couldn't be true
This time I'm ready for the real thing too

Turn on the light, I've been tossing all night
I try to read but it's love that I need
In my mind the sound of goodbye
Keeps hauntin' me like a distant dream

If only now I could turn back the pages
(Turn back the pages)
I played some games that I've lived to regret
(I played)
I only wish, I had gone through those stages
Years before we met and baby

This time I'm ready for the real thing
Last time I couldn't be true
This time I'm ready for the real thing too

If only now I could turn back the pages
(Turn back the pages)
I played some games that I've lived to regret
(I played)
I only wish, I had gone through those stages
Years before we met and baby

This time I'm ready for the real thing
Last time I couldn't be true
This time get ready for the real thing
'Cause this time baby, I'm ready for you

I'm ready for the real thing
Last time I couldn't be true
This time I'm ready for the real thing too

I'm ready for the real thing
Last time I couldn't be true
This time I'm ready for the real thing too

I'm ready for the real thing
Last time I couldn't be true
This time get ready for the real thing too
