Cover art for I'm Ready lyrics by Tevin Campbell

He's falling in love with a girl who doesn't really reciprocate that feeling "it was uncool to love me". She's suggest he's the fool who waits to get her back, but he strongly believes he's ready to love her. If she would just take the time to realize that maybe he won't feel like such the fool that she calls him and the fool he begins to believe he is. He believes somehow if he does get his shot again to be with this girl he will somehow blow it "I know you'll leave me once again, and take my pride". However, he's willing to always put his heart on the line and is as always "waiting to share, your love". He hopes the final time they'll "forever mend it up". In short he's ready to love her forever and wants the feeling returned "come love me forever more".
