[Verse 1]
Judy, can't you look at me
Or take the opportunity to work it out?
You said you wanna bet on me
Then you say you think my luck is running out
It must have been a fantasy
I believed I was the only one

[Verse 2]
I thought I was a worldly man
But boy, I learned a thing or two when I met you
I wagered big, you took me down
"Ç'est tellement familier," it's like déjà vu
There's always been a part of me
Baby, that knew you'd run away

[Chorus]
Fortune favors the prepared
Ready or not, you fall in love
Fortune favors the prepared
Are you prepared for a broken heart?
Fortune favors the prepared
(Ready or not)

[Verse 3]
You say you've had a tragic life
I could never understand just how bad you feel
It cuts you like a rusty knife
Circumvent the storm and let me take the wheel
There's always been a part of me
That's been waiting for the rain

[Chorus]
Fortune favors the prepared
Ready or not, you fall in love
Fortune favors the prepared
Are you prepared for a broken heart
Fortune favors the prepared

[Bridge]
I took for granted that you'd be here waiting
Why am I forsaken, while another fool abandons you?

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Fortune favors the prepared
Ready or not, we all fall down
Fortune favors the prepared
Are you prepared for a second round?
Fortune favors the prepared
(Ready or not)
Fortune favors the prepared
Ready or not, you fall in love
Fortune favors the prepared
Are you prepared for a broken heart?
Fortune favors the prepared

[Outro]
(Ready or not)
Ready or not, you fall in love
(Ready or not)
Don't be afraid of a broken heart

Toto is an American rock band formed in 1977 in Van Nuys in Los Angeles, California. The band’s current lineup consists of Joseph Williams (lead vocals), David Paich (keyboards, vocals), Steve Porcaro (keyboards), Steve Lukather (guitars, vocals), Shem von Schroeck (bass), and Shannon Forrest (drums). Toto is known for a musical style that combines elements of pop, rock, soul, funk, progressive rock, hard rock, R&B, blues, and jazz.

David Paich and Jeff Porcaro had played together as session musicians on several albums and decided to form a band. David Hungate, Steve Lukather, Steve Porcaro, and Bobby Kimball were recruited before their first album release. The band enjoyed great commercial success in the late 1970s and 1980s, beginning with the band’s eponymous debut released in 1978. With the release of the critically acclaimed and commercially successful Toto IV from 1982, Toto became one of the best-selling music groups of their era. They are best known for the Top 5 hits “Hold the Line”, “Rosanna”, and “Africa”. Several changes to the lineup have been made over the years. Hungate left in 1982 followed by Kimball in 1984 but rejoined the band in 1998 until 2008. Jeff Porcaro died in 1992 of a heart attack. Hungate rejoined Toto as a touring musician and later a band member. In 2008, Lukather announced his departure from the band, and the remaining band members later went their separate ways. In the summer of 2010, Toto reformed and went on a short European tour, with a new lineup, to benefit Mike Porcaro, who had been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and was no longer an active member of the band.

The band has released a total of 17 albums, and have sold over 40 million albums to date. The group was honored with several Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in 2009.
