Don't have to humble
yourself to me,
I ain't your judge
or your king
Baby, you know I ain't no
Queen of Sheba
We may not even
have our dignity
This could be just a
powerful thing
Baby we can choose you
know we ain't no amoeba
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
Are you ready for the thing
called love
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
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
Are you ready for the thing
called love
Ugly ducklings don't turn
into swans
And glide off down
the lake
Whether your sunglasses
are off or on
You only see the world
you make
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
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
Are you ready for it
Are you ready for love,
baby
Oooh yeah babe
Are you ready for love
