美國歌壇天后［黛安娜羅絲］──流行靈魂曲──［Get Ready For Love／為愛做準備］

I sit by the telephone
Waiting for you to call me
And when Im alone in the night
The blues start to fall on me
Baby, Im waiting for you
And all thats on my mind
Is what Im gonna do

My friends say Im crazy
And Im wasting my time on you
Im breaking the rules
And Im way out of line its true
Baby, one night with you
And theyd be goin crazy too

Im getting ready for love
Brand new start
Heres my heart
Im getting ready for love
I can feel
This time its real

All I keep thinkin about
Is the way that you do to me
Baby, the wonder of you
Has made the wonderful come true

Im getting ready for love
Brand new start
Heres my heart
Im getting ready for love
I can feel
This time its real

Im under your spell
Of that Im sure
You can tell

Sailin along on a breeze
Ooh, Im flying
Ooh, Im skying

Im getting ready for love
Brand new start
Heres my heart
Im getting ready for love
I can feel
This time its real

Im getting ready for love
Yes, I am
Yes, I am
Im getting ready for love
