Lyrics
I’ve been so lonely with out you,
Can’t get you out of my mind,
Wondering what you been up to all this time, (mmmm)
I heard you been asking about me
And if I found somebody new
That’s why I called you so late tonight, to talk about what we should do
Cause I’m ready to love you again,
I’m just waiting to hear you say when
Now I know I can give you so much more than I ever could before,
Yes I’m ready to love you again, only this time I wont let end,
So turn off the light and hold on tight,
If you ready to love me again
It’s been so long since I saw you,
Maybe everything’s changed
But I knew I still had to see you, just the same (mmmm)
Feel that old feeling between us,
So I’m putting my heart on the line,
Letting you know that I can’t let go,
Asking to try one more time,
Cause I’m ready to love you again,
I’m just waiting to hear you say when,
Now I know I can give you so much more than I ever could before,
Yes I’m ready to love you again, only this time I wont let end,
So turn off the light and hold on tight,
Cause I’m ready to love you again,
I’m just waiting to hear you say when,
Now I know I can give you so much more than I ever could before,
Yes I’m ready to love you again, only this time I wont let end,
So turn off the light and hold on tight,
If you ready to love me again (Yeah)
Please say when,
I know I can give you so much more than I ever could before
Yeah, yes I’m ready, only this time I won’t let end
So turn off the lights and hold on tight, if you ready to love me
Repeat…
