[Verse 1]
A
Don't have to humble yourself to me, I ain't your judge or your king
C    G                              A
Baby, you know I ain't no Queen of Sheba
A
We may not even have our dignity, this could be just a powerful thing
C              G                           A
Baby, we can choose, you know we ain't no amoeba
 
[Chorus]
F                        Bb           C
  Are you ready for the thing called love
F                                Bb             C
  Don't come from me and you, it comes from up above
F                     Bb              C
  I ain't no porcupine, take off your kid gloves
F                       D             A
  Are you ready for the thing called love

A
I ain't no icon carved out of soap, sent here to clean up your reputation
C    G                                 A
Baby, you know you ain't no Prince Charming
A
We can live in fear or act out of hope, for some kind of peaceful situation
C                   G                    A
Baby, how come the cry of love is so alarming
 
[Chorus]
F                        Bb           C
  Are you ready for the thing called love
F                                Bb             C
  Don't come from me and you, it comes from up above
F                     Bb              C
  I ain't no porcupine, take off your kid gloves
F                       D             A
  Are you ready for the thing called love
 
[Bridge]
A C      A C
A      C
  Ugly ducklings don't turn into swans
A           C
  And glide off down the lake
A              C
  Whether your sunglasses are off or on
F                   D         A
  You only see the world you make
