Don't have to humble yourself to me, I ain't your judge or your king 
C5    G5                              A5
Baby, you know I ain't no Queen of Sheba
A5
We may not even have our dignity, this could be just a powerful thing
C5             G5                          A5        
Baby we can choose you know we ain't no amoeba

CHORUS:
F5                      Bb5            C5
Are you ready for the thing called love
F5                              Bb5            C5
Don't come from me and you, it comes from up above
F5                     Bb5            C5
I ain't no porcupine, take off your kid gloves
F5                     D5             A5
Are you ready for the thing called love

I ain't some icon carved out of soap
Sent here to clean up your reputation
Baby, you know you ain't no Prince Charming
We can live in fear or act out of hope
For some kind of peaceful situation
Baby, how come the cry of love is so alarming ...CHORUS

BRIDGE:
A5 C5  A5 C5  A5      C5
         Ugly ducklings don't turn into swans
A5    C5
And glide off down the lake
 A5                C5
Whether your sunglasses are off or on
F5                  D5        A5
You only see the world you make

Are you ready for it
Are you ready for the thing called love
Don't come from me and you, it comes from up above
I ain't no porcupine, take off your kid gloves
F5                  Bb5   C5
Are you ready for it
