[Intro]
Uh, what's up, baby?
Come here, I wanna taste you
But I know you're gonna like it
So, are you ready?
I love the way your body feels next to mine
Listen, let me explain

[Verse 1]
Temperature's rising
And your body's yearning for me, oh, baby
Girl, lay it on me, I place no one above thee
Oh, take me to your ecstasy

[Chorus]
It seems like you're ready
Seems like you're ready (seems like you're ready)
Girl, are you ready to go all the way? All the way
It seems like you're ready (seems like you're ready)
Seems like you're ready
Girl, are you ready to go all the way? All the way

[Verse 2]
I can smell your perfume
Step into my bedroom, let me love you constantly (come here, baby)
Oh, oh, your body is my playground, let me lick you up and down
Make you feel like a woman should

[Chorus]
It seems like you're ready
Seems like you're ready (seems like you're ready)
Girl, are you ready to go all the way? Girl, all the way
It seems like you're ready (seems like you're ready)
Seems like you're ready
Girl, are you ready to go all the way? All the way

[Bridge]
Look in the mirror (oh oh...)
Now come a little bit closer
(Don't worry, don't you worry)
Don't be scared, I'm not gonna hurt you
I wanna do all of the things you want me to do to you
(All of the things you want)
And baby, I wanna make you feel real good while I'm doing it, woah

[Chorus]
It seems like you're ready
Seems like you're ready (seems like you're ready)
Girl, are you ready to go all the way? All the way
It seems like you're ready (seems like you're ready)
I could've sworn you were ready
Girl, are you ready to go all the way? All the way
It seems like you're ready (just like you're ready)
Girl, are you ready to go all the way? All the way

[Outro]
So are you ready? Woo! (Seems like you're ready)
For my loving, baby
Girl, are you ready
I'm gonna make you feel so good
But there's one thing I'd like to know is
Do you want it, baby? (Seems like you're ready)
Do you need it, baby? (Girl, are you ready?)
I'd like to know if I'm the one that you're preparing for
Tell me, baby; am I the one you want? (Seems like you're ready)
Listen, am I the one you need?
(Girl, are you ready?)
I just gotta know right now, right now
'Cause it seems just like you're ready (seems like you're ready)
Just like you're ready, baby (girl, are you ready?)
And I don't wanna make no mistakes at all
But it seems like you're ready, ha
Come here, baby; hey there, lady
I'm willing... (seems like you're ready)
...to bet my life that you're ready (girl, are you ready?)
And I promise I'll be good to you, baby
You don't have to worry, no, baby
No, baby, no no no no, baby...

Robert Kelly is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer from the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, where he first started performing under the “L” subway tracks as a teenager. This led into his first album, Born Into the 90’s, being released in 1992 as a collaboration between R. Kelly and Public Announcement. R. Kelly wrote and produced the entire album, which contained the #1 R&B hits “Honey Love” and “Slow Dance,” along with the Top 10 R&B hits “She’s Got That Vibe” (#7) and “Dedicated” (#9). The following year, Kelly went on to become a solo act.

In 1993, he released his first solo album, 12 Play, featuring the hits “Bump N' Grind” and “Your Body’s Callin'.” He released a self-titled album in 1995 featuring the hits “Down Low (Nobody Has To Know)” and “You Remind Me of Something,” while his 1998 double album, R., featured a string of hits, including “I Am Your Angel” with Celine Dion, “When a Woman’s Fed Up,” and his Grammy Award-winning song “I Believe I Can Fly” from the Space Jam soundtrack.

The success of these albums led to him becoming an in-demand producer in the ‘90s, writing and producing #1 hits for Aaliyah (“Back & Forth”), Janet Jackson (“Any Time, Any Place (Remix)”), Changing Faces (“G.H.E.T.T.O.U.T”), Maxwell (“Fortunate”), and Michael Jackson (“You Are Not Alone”).
