Ready for Love

Neon lights on a cloudy night
Midnight buses passing by
Walking on the sidewalk with my hand in yours
And it′s only when we've had a drink
Our best friends say what they all think
That you look at me like the way I look at you

But you talk me down
When I try to close the gap
Saying that you want to do me right
′Cause you know yourself

Even if we're both in love
You say that you're not good enough
You tell me that you′ll hurt me like they hurt you
′Cause it's all you know
′Cause I'm ready for love, but you tell me off
Say that I′ll fall for a broken heart
But I just want to hold you like you're holding him

And you tell me I′m different from those guys
So I don't get more than a kiss goodnight
But then you go and break me when you're holding him

I′ve spent the night lookin′ in your eyes
On your bed by the candlelight
Talking 'bout your mama fighting with your dad

And the past three guys were a bit like me
Your latest ex is the one you see
You′re trying, but the cycle's not about to stop

But you talk me down
When I try to close the gap
Saying that you want to me right
′Cause you know yourself

Even if we're both in love
You say that you′re not good enough
You tell me that you'll hurt me like they hurt you
'Cause it′s all you know
′Cause I'm ready for love, but you tell me off
Say that I′ll fall for a broken heart
But I just want to hold you like you're holding him

And you tell me I′m different from those guys
So I don't get more than a kiss goodnight
But then you go and break me when you′re holding him
