This Time I'm Ready

the pawnbroker scorned me
landlord he roared
taxman he haunts me
they're all banging my door
the shit hit the fan now
and I'm in it deep
keep me awake now
or kiss me to sleep
for this time
this time
ain't got no place else to go
this time
this time I'm staying
and I'm ready for love

open the floodgates
and the fools rush in
keep your foot on the throttle
the wheel's still in spin
I've been trying to forget you
I guess I never will
seven days of bad luck
and no license to kill
for this time
this time
ain't got no place else to go
this time
this time I'm staying
and I'm ready I'm ready for love

every morning
every morning
the tears they fall out of my eyes
every evening
every evening
I done nothing
nothing but cry

wipe off your windshield
it's diamonds that fall
take that old picture
off of your wall
there'll be grapes in the vineyard
coming next fall
we'll go to the blacksmith
for a key to your door
for this time
this time
ain't got no place else to go
this time I'm staying
and I'm ready I'm ready for love
