Better Be Ready

I was only 12 years old
When I found out about love
Love was blond and 17
And in my brother's class

Restless days and sleepless nights
Trying to catch his eye
Wheelie on my little bike
But on my letters no reply

And then summer took him away
To another town gone to stay
And it felt like love was pain
But I found out
Just today

You better be ready
When love comes around for you
You better be ready
Cause a chance may come real soon
You better be ready
When love comes around for you
It's bound to come on through

Time went slow but I grew up fast
And summer can last a year
Waiting for my time to come
And for my love to reappear

And let destiny take us away
To another town gone to stay
And two hearts will feel the same
So watch out now
Today is the day

You better be ready
When love comes around for you
You better be ready
Cause a chance may come real soon
You better be ready
When love comes around for you
It's bound to come on through
There is love somewhere for you

You better be ready
When love comes around for you
You better be ready
Cause a chance may come real soon
You better be ready
When love comes around for you
It's bound to come on through
There is love somewhere for you

Yeah
Oh, you better be ready
He, hey
