Dead on my feet -- got a deadline to meet,

But it can wait -- cant concentrate --

This one-track mind wont leave you behind

Why punish me with memories

If only now I could turn back the pages --

I played some games that Ive lived to regret,

I only wish I had gone through those stages --

Years before we met --

But I know

*this time --

Im ready for the real thing,

Last time --

I couldnt be [bad word] 

This time --

Im ready for the real thing too*

Turn on the light, Ive been tossing all night,

I try to read but its 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 --

I played some games that Ive lived to regret,

I only with I had gone through those changes

Years before we met --

And baby

( * repeat)

This time --

Im ready for the real thing,

Last time --

I couldnt be [bad word] 

This time --

Get ready for the real thing,

Cause this time baby --

Im ready for you
