It's the second time around

For you and I, boy

And believe me it's confusing me...

I'm afraid to say "let's make up" and, "all's forgiven,"

But somethin' tells me I'm headed for heartbreak....

So darlin', please, I'm prayin' that

This time it will be different

That you and I can share this dream that I visualize...

[Chorus]

Tell me are you really ready for love, boy

Or is it just the lonely talking again

Are you really ready for love, boy

Or is it the lonely talking again.....

Now, the time before

When we got together

You promised you'd be forever true to me

But all I got from you

Was lots and lots of talking.....

Lonely nights filled with misery

So baby, please, please tell me now

That when I fulfill your needs

You won't up and leave me,

Even though you know I'll let you come back....

Tell me

[Chorus]
