you're not ready

i would give my whole world to you

anything that you'd ask me i would do

i've grown tired of this foolin' around

around

and now i'm ready to settle

settle down

well i press but you hesitate

so i guess

i'll just have to wait

because

you're not ready

oh

for my love

how you slipped through my fingers

i don't know

had you right where i wanted

but let go

when i think of how foolish

i've been

oh my darling it tears me

wears me thin

oh

i was the one that hit the field

now i'm ready to seal the deal

i want you girl

you girl

you

well i press but you have a shade of doubt

so i guess i'll just have to wait it out

because

you're not ready

oh

for my love

my love

my love
