Don’t have to humble yourself to me,   I ain’t your judge or your king   Baby, you know I ain’t no queen of sheba   We may not even have our dignity,   This could be just a powerful thing   Baby we can choose you know we ain’t no amoeba   Chorus:      Are you ready for the thing called love   Don’t come from me and you,   It comes from up above   I ain’t no porcupine,   Take off your kid gloves   Are you ready for the thing called love   I ain’t some icon carved out of soap   Sent here to clean up your reputation   Baby, you know you ain’t no prince charming   We can live in fear or act out of hope   For some kind of peaceful situation   Baby, how come the cry of love is so alarming ...chorus      Bridge:      Ugly ducklings don’t turn into swans   And glide off down the lake   Whether your sunglasses are off or on   You only see the world you make      Chorus outro:   Are you ready for the thing called love   Don’t come from me and you,   It comes from up above   I ain’t no porcupine,   Take off your kid gloves      Are you ready for it   Are you ready for the thing called love   Don’t come from me and you,   It comes from up above   I ain’t no porcupine,   Take off your kid gloves      Are you ready for it   Are you ready for love, baby   Oooh yeah babe   Are you ready for love
