Am I ready to be a man?

Could I follow through my plan?

Place a ring on some girl’s hand

And for her always make a stand

Could I fill all her desires?

Be the subject of her fantasies

Am I strong to keep her higher?

Than anywhere she ever been?

Will my jealousy kill me?

Will it kill my relationship?

Cause if she’s very friendly

Sometimes my mind just flips!

 

            Am I ready?

            I ask this question of myself

            In the hopes

            I can answer it truthfully

            Cause I don’t want to be another sad statistic

            I want a fairytale love that is so realistic

            And that’s what I’m ready for!

 

I’m ready for the kind of love

Where a princess could kiss a frog

And magic that last forever

A tale that’s ending never

Now money and wealth ain’t nothing’

I want someone with love divine

A smile is worth more than a diamond ring

An unconditional love that’s pure and refine

We need no high paying jobs

Sometimes we’ll have our doubts

Al we ever need is our love

And we’ll hold to each other’s trust

 

            Am I ready?

            I ask this question to myself

            For I know I will answer it truthfully

            Yes I’m ready to take a good woman for a wife

            If she’ll work hard as me for a better life

            Yes that’s what I’m ready for!

 

I’m the kind who dwells on truth

And for that there’s no substitute

Sometimes I wish I knew

What is someone to do?

To make a love affair last long

One that started so young

To stay till we’re old and grey

With wrinkles all over our face

And never did a day go by

With fault from her or I

I know I can be like that

Girl are you my counterpart?

 

(Music)

 

If we don’t have lots in common

And don’t agree on many small points

So we’re not perfectly matched

Well that’s as perfect as love comes

We won’t know each other thoroughly

Know all the moves the other makes

There’ll always be something to discover

When we give we won’t always take

I want to be there for someone

Who wants to be there for me

Friendship, love, trust, communication

A love that’s blessed, open and free

 

            Am I ready?

            I ask this question to myself

            And I answered it as truthful as I know

            For I’m ready for the girl who’s ready for me

            To love till one dies honest and truthfully

            For that’s what I’m ready for!
