![]() Nick Of Time (1989) [ larger cover art ] |
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
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
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

| helgigermany (Germany) | Posted: Feb 05, 2013 - 22:45 Thankx for this set! |
| triskele (a strange land) | Posted: Jan 05, 2013 - 14:21 of course, i prefer the original, but this is great... love it. |
| asilbuch (way too close) | Posted: Dec 05, 2012 - 05:33 Sheba/amoeba? Did I spell that correctly? |
| nagsheadlocal (North Carolina, the new New Jersey) | Posted: Dec 05, 2012 - 05:33 "We may not even have our dignity, it may be a powerful thing." Honey, that's not making love, that's f**king, and there ain't nothing wrong with that. |
| chelsiaann (Helena, Montucky) | Posted: Oct 03, 2012 - 12:15 As another RP listener once said: I like her better pre-grammy. Still, this song is great in that, yeah, it makes me want to turn it up and dance. |
| jimys (West Coast) | Posted: Oct 03, 2012 - 12:14 Bonnie Raitt rocks!!! |
| cShaggy (..in the general vicinity..) | Posted: Oct 03, 2012 - 12:14 ..how's this only have 2 comments?..guess Bonnie has panache.. |
| meinthecorner (Past the gravy, far beyond the golden fries) | Posted: Sep 01, 2012 - 23:17 This song just kicks, despite all the air play it's gotten. There are good reasons for that. Hiatt wrote a gem, and Raitt's an absolute treasure! I get up whenever I hear it! |
