Survivor — Ready for the Real Thing

Dead on my feet, got a deadline to meet But it can wait, can't concentrate This one-track mind won't leave you behind Why punish me with memories If only now I could turn back the pages I played some games that I've lived to regret I only wish I had gone through those stages Years before we met, but I know This time I'm ready for the real thing Last time I couldn't be true This time I'm ready for the real thing too Turn on the light, I've been tossing all night I try to read but it's love that I need In my mind, the sound of goodbye Keeps hauntin' me like a distant dream If only now I could turn back the pages I played some games that I've lived to regret I only wish I had gone through those changes Years before we met, and baby This time I'm ready for the real thing Last time I couldn't be true This time I'm ready for the real thing too This time I'm ready for the real thing Last time I couldn't be true This time Get ready for the real thing 'Cause this time baby I'm ready for you
