[Verse 1]
Right now, you don't even know that I am around
Guess I'll have to wait, I'll have to wait
Till the day comes when you want me near
And oh Freddy, when you're ready, I'll be here
[Verse 2]
Right now, you've got another girl and she's in your heart
Guess I'll have to wait (wait), I'll have to wait (wait)
Till the day comes when you put her down
And oh Freddy (Freddy, when you're ready)
When you're ready, I'll be around
[Bridge]
Even if I ever went to a dance with a guy of my own
Though I know it's unfair, I would leave him right there
If you wanted to take me home
[Verse 3]
My mama says it's such a shame for me to love you
When you don't even know my name, but I will love you
Till the day comes when you want me too
And then oh Freddy (Freddy, when you're ready)
When you're ready, I'll belong to you
[Outro]
(Freddy, when you're ready)
Oh, oh, oh, oh (Freddy)
Don't you know I'll belong to you
(Freddy, when you're ready)
I'll belong to you, oh oh
Right now, you don't even know that I am around
Guess I'll have to wait, I'll have to wait
Till the day comes when you want me near
And oh Freddy, when you're ready, I'll be here
[Verse 2]
Right now, you've got another girl and she's in your heart
Guess I'll have to wait (wait), I'll have to wait (wait)
Till the day comes when you put her down
And oh Freddy (Freddy, when you're ready)
When you're ready, I'll be around
[Bridge]
Even if I ever went to a dance with a guy of my own
Though I know it's unfair, I would leave him right there
If you wanted to take me home
[Verse 3]
My mama says it's such a shame for me to love you
When you don't even know my name, but I will love you
Till the day comes when you want me too
And then oh Freddy (Freddy, when you're ready)
When you're ready, I'll belong to you
[Outro]
(Freddy, when you're ready)
Oh, oh, oh, oh (Freddy)
Don't you know I'll belong to you
(Freddy, when you're ready)
I'll belong to you, oh oh
