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 (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 been tossing all night

I tried 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 (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



If only now I could turn back the pages (turn back the pages)

I played some games that I've lived to regret

I only wish I had gone through those stanges

Years before we met, but baby



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

I'm ready for the real thing

Last time, I couldn't be true

This time, I'm ready for the real thing too

I'm ready for the real thing

Last time, I couldn't be true

This time, I'm ready for the real thing too

I'm ready for the real thing

Last time, I couldn't be true

This time, get ready for the real thing too
