Alicia Keys — Un-thinkable Im Ready Live from VH1 Storytellers

[Spoken Intro] This next song is, like, one of my favorite, favorite songs And um, this song ended up coming off soul conversation that was so intimate Even the way that I sang on the mic It was like maybe the lowest and the quietest that I ever sang But it felt, like, so personal And I wanted it to feel like I was just whispering in somebody's ear And the question is: What are we waiting for? [Verse 1] Moment of honesty Someone's gotta take the lead tonight Who's it gonna be? I'm gonna sit right herе And tell you all that comes to me And if you havе something to say You should say it right now (You should say it right now) [Pre-Chorus] You give me a feeling that I never felt before And I deserve it, I think I deserve it It's becoming something that's impossible to ignore And I can't take it [Chorus] I was wondering maybe Could I make you my baby If we do the unthinkable, would it make us look crazy? If you ask me I'm ready (I'm ready) If you ask me I'm ready (I'm ready) [Verse 2] I know you once said to me "This is exactly how it should feel when it's meant to be" Time is only wasting so why wait for eventually? 'Cause if we gon' do something 'bout it We should do it right now (We should do it right now) Bay, uh [Pre-Chorus] You give me a feeling that I never felt before And I deserve it, I know I deserve it It's becoming something that's impossible to ignore And I can't take it [Chorus] I was wondering maybe Could I make you my baby If we do the unthinkable, would it make us look crazy? Or would it be so beautiful? Either way I'm sayin' If you ask me, I'm ready (I'm ready) If you ask me I'm ready (I'm ready) Yeah, yeah [Interlude] My favorite part is this bridge Because we sat and we talked about what this meant for a while, you know We spoke about, like, why give up before we try So many times — how many times have we just count ourselves out before we even give it a chance? You know, why give up before we try? Feel the lows before the highs, you know We — everybody does that, I do that Clip our wings before we fly away We sat there and spoke about this bridge for a long time To really get, like, that feeling, that feeling, yeah, uh So this bridge is like my favorite in this song, I love where it goes Say, say, say [Bridge] Why give up before we try Feel the lows before the highs Clip our wings before we fly away (Fly away) I can't say I came prepared I'm suspended in the air Won't you come be in the sky with me [Chorus] I was wondering maybe Could I make you my baby If we do the unthinkable, would it make us look crazy? Or would it be so beautiful? Either way I'm sayin' If you ask me I'm ready (I'm ready) Yeah, if you ask me I'm ready (I'm ready) Oh yeah, if you ask me I'm ready (I'm ready) If you ask me, I'm ready (I'm ready) [Outro] Thank you
