Bonnie Raitt - Thing Called Love lyrics

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
