The Vandellas - Not Gonna Be Ready Lyrics

Fresh out of tears, won't keep up with crying
If you're not sincere there's no sense in lying
I'm a big girl now and I've packed away my toys
I could love a man, but I've got no time for boys

And I'm not gonna be ready
Not gonna, not gonna be ready
Not gonna be ready, not gonna be ready

All those flowers are nice and I'm real fond of candy
Man around the house sure would come in handy
I've had all that I can stand of hurt and pain
And I've got no time at all for fun and games

So I'm not gonna be ready
Not gonna, not gonna be ready
Not gonna be ready, not gonna be ready
If it ain't love, everlasting love

Like I said before, in case you think I'm fooling
Used to follow my heart, now my head is ruling
Love and happiness is my only heart's desire
I don't want no mess so before we light this fire

I'm just not gonna be ready
Not gonna, not gonna be ready
Not gonna be ready, not gonna be ready

Can you guarantee that all you want is me
And we'll always be together forever

Not gonna be ready
Not gonna, not gonna be ready
Not gonna be ready, not gonna be ready"
