[Verse]
A
Don't have to humble yourself to me, I ain't your judge or your king
C G A
Baby, you know I ain't no Queen of Sheba
A
We may not even have our dignity, this could be just a powerful thing
C G A
Baby we can choose you know we ain't no amoeba
[Chorus]
F Bb C
Are you ready for the thing called love
F Bb C
Don't come from me and you, it comes from up above
F Bb C
I ain't no porcupine, take off your kid gloves
F D A
Are you ready for the thing called love
[Verse]
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]
F Bb C
Are you ready for the thing called love
F Bb C
Don't come from me and you, it comes from up above
F Bb C
I ain't no porcupine, take off your kid gloves

A C A C A C
Ugly ducklings don't turn into swans
A C
And glide off down the lake
A C
Whether your sunglasses are off or on
F D A
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
F Bb C
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
F Bb C
Are you ready for it
F Bb C
Are you ready for love, baby

Oooh yeah babe
F Bb C F D A
Are you ready for love
