Bonnie Raitt Lyrics
"You Got to Be Ready for Love (If You Wanna Be Mine"

You got to be ready
You got to be ready, yeah.

This woman don't like no nonsense
I like lovin' every day
And I don't like to find no evidence, no
To proove you're giving my love away
What more can I say.

Except you got to be ready for love
If you wanna be mine (ready baby)
You got to be ready for love
If you wanna be mine
You got to be ready
You got to be ready.

This woman don't do no handpickin'
And I don't think one look is a fellony
And I don't appreciate no rubberneckin', no
'Bout a man, when he's with me
Out in the street.

Except you got to be ready for love
If you wanna be mine (be ready baby)
I said you got to be ready for love
If you wanna be mine
You got to be ready
You got to be ready.

Ready for love
Ready for love
Got to be ready for love.

You got to be ready
You got to be ready
You got to be ready
You got to be ready, yeah.

You got to be ready for love
If you wanna be mine
You got to be ready for love
If you wanna be mine (be ready baby.)

Can't be a cold lover
Just like my old lover
If you wanna be mine
You got to get ready
You got to stay ready
If you wanna be mine (be ready baby...)
