The Chi-Lites - Yes I'm Ready (If I Don't Get To Go) Lyrics

Lyrics Yes I'm Ready (If I Don't Get To Go) - The Chi-Lites



For the school house across town
The city park and playground
The places where kid′s joys are found
I'm standing and waiting (yes i′m waiting)
With hopes the best will show (yes i'm waiting)
I'm ready if i don′t get to go (yes i′m ready)
For the halls of higher learning
A decent way of earning
The good life for mankind
I'm no longer debating
I′m anxious to know
I'm ready if i don′t get to go (yes i'm ready)
I know the facts
And i know how to fight back
But fighting is for fools
Toward each other
But if this is what i must be
I will stand like a tree
Cause there′s so much good i love
For man to discover (to discover)
Oohh, i'm ready if i don't get to go (yes i′m ready)
I′m ready cause of what i've been through
Maybe you should be ready too
I′ve roughin' an fightin′
Toughfin' and tightin′
Now open up the door (open up the door)
See what i'll do
Oohh, i'm ready (yes i′m ready) if i don′t get to go (yes i'm ready)
I′ve been laughed at
And talked about
By those who claim to be friends
I've been criticized, disputed
But i refuse to give in
Oohh, i′m ready (yes i'm ready) if i don′t get to go (yes i'm ready)
I'm ready (yes i′m ready) if i don′t get to go (yes i'm ready)
Yes i′m ready (yes i'm ready) if i don′t get to go (yes i'm ready)
Yes i′m ready if i don't get to go
Oh yeah yeah yeah, oh yeah, i'm ready
Yes i′m ready... (repeat and fade)
