I'll never forget the day, day that we met
I was gaining a friend, I ain't even know it
Man you was actin' so shy, semi, semi
Semi, and that was all in my mind, semi, semi
Then I thought, I should stay to myself
Is he gon' be good for my health?
Man, he gon' put me up on a shelf
I'ma have to be somebody else
Oh, oh, I just don't know how to trust
I've been through so much
What's the point of love?
He said, "Am I ready to be happy?
Would I recognize it if it's comin' at me?"
I said, "All I want is to live everlasting
But could you explain to me what are you asking
'Cause I might be ready for that
Oh, I might be ready for that
Oh, l might be ready for that
Oh, I might be ready, just might be ready
I just might be ready, I just might be ready
I just might, might be ready, might be ready, yeah
Might be ready, ready, mmm"
I was 22 then, that day you grabbed my hand
And said, "I know we're friends but
What you think of marriage?"
Man, I was feelin' so shy, semi, semi
But you had tears in your eyes, semi, semi
But I was like, "I don't really know you"
Man, but I don't really know me
I had a lot of wounds I couldn't see
That left a lot of dead fruit on my tree
So I, I pushed you away, way, way
And we stayed friends, but ba-baby
Now every year so the day, day, day
I get a text and it says
He says, "Am I ready?" Yeah
He said, "Am I ready to be happy
And would I recognize it if it's comin' at me?"
I said, "All I want is to live everlasting
But could you explain to me what are you asking?
'Cause I might be ready for that
Oh, I might be ready for that
Oh, I might be ready, yeah, yeah, ooh
Might be ready, I just might be ready
I just might be, I just might, might be ready"
