What's up baby?
Come here
I wanna taste you
And I know you're gonna like it, so
Are you ready?
I love the way your body feels next to mine
Listen, let me explain

Temperature's rising
And your body's yearnin' for me
So, come here baby
Girl, lay it on me
I place no one above thee
Oh take me to your ecstasy

It seems like you're ready
(Seems like you're ready)
Seems like you're ready
(Girl, are you ready)
To go all the way, all the way

It seems like you're ready
(Seems like you're ready)
Seems like you're ready
(Girl, are you ready)
To go all the way, all the way

I can smell your perfume
Step into my bedroom, let me
Love you constantly, come here baby
Oh, oh, your body is my playground
Let me lick you up and down
Make you feel like a woman should

It seems like you're ready
(Seems like you're ready)
Seems like you're ready
(Girl, are you ready)
To go all the way, girl, all the way

It seems like you're ready
(Seems like you're ready)
Seems like you're ready
(Girl, are you ready)
To go all the way, all the way

Look in the mirror
Now come here a little bit closer
Don't be scared, I'm not gonna hurt you
I wanna do all of that things you want me to do to you
And baby, I wanna make you feel really good  while I'm doin' it
Oh oh oh

It seems like you're ready
(Seems like you're ready)
Seems like you're ready
(Girl, are you ready)
To go all the way, all the way

It seems like you're ready
(Seems like you're ready)
I could have sworn you were ready
(Girl, are you ready)
To go all, all the way

It seems like you're ready
Just like you're ready
(Girl are you ready)
To go all the way, all the way

So, are you ready
(Seems like you're ready)
For my lovin' babe
(Girl, are you ready)
I'm gonna make you feel so good
But there's one thing I'd like to know is

Do you want it baby?
(Seems like you're ready)
Do you need it babe? (Girl, are you ready)
I'd like to know if I'm the one that you preparin' for?

Tell me baby
Am I the one you want (Seems like you're ready)
Am I the one you need?
(Girl, are you ready)
I just gotta know right now, right now

'Cause, it seems just like you're ready
(Seems like you're ready)
Just like you're ready baby
(Girl, are you ready)
And I don't wanna make no mistakes at all
But it seems like you're ready

Call me up baby, hey there lady
I'm willing (Seems like you're ready)
To bet my life that you're ready (Girl, are you ready)
And I promise, I'll be good to you baby
You don't have to worry, no baby, no baby, no no no
