[Verse]
Don t have to humble yourself to me, I ain t your judge or your king
Baby, you know I ain t no Queen of Sheba
We may not even have our dignity, this could be just a powerful thing
Baby we can choose you know we ain t no amoeba
[Chorus]
Are you ready for the thing called love
Don t come from me and you, it comes from up above
I ain t no porcupine, take off your kid gloves
Are you ready for the thing called love
[Verse]
I ain t some icon carved out of soap
Sent here to clean up your reputation
Baby, you know you ain t no Prince Charming
We can live in fear or act out of hope
For some kind of peaceful situation
Baby, how come the cry of love is so alarming .
[Chorus]
Are you ready for the thing called love
Don t come from me and you, it comes from up above
I ain t no porcupine, take off your kid gloves
Are you ready for the thing called love
[Bridge]
Ugly ducklings don t turn into swans
And glide off down the lake
Whether your sunglasses are off or on
You only see the world you make
[CHORUS OUTRO]
Are you ready for the thing called love
Don t come from me and you, it comes from up above
I ain t no porcupine, take off your kid gloves
Are you ready for it
Are you ready for the thing called love
Don t come from me and you, it comes from up above
I ain t no porcupine, take off your kid gloves
Are you ready for it
Are you ready for love, baby
Oooh yeah babe
Are you ready for love
