When Love Comes Knockin' - Dee Dee Bridgewater

Love for me hasn't been easy I've let true love fall to the ground Through the years and the tears I've learned what love's about And this time I'll be ready When love comes around When love comes around I'll be ready Love will find me a brand-new man And I'll be standing here With my heart in my hand This time I'll be ready When love comes around Too many times I've lost a good love And I can see now I let it down But if love comes back to me It won't see the same old me 'Cause this time I'll be ready When love comes around When love comes around, I'll be ready Love will find me a brand-new man And I'll be standing here With my heart in my hand And this time I'll be ready When love comes around Yeah, I'll be standing here With my heart in my hand This time I'll be ready When love comes around

I remember the day Seems so far away When i walked into your life And the look in your eyes How it took you by suprise But it felt so right Then i drew you in Told you anything 'Cause I wanted you so bad Girl i led you on Said there's nothing wrong In giving your heart to me But when it comes to love I should know better When it comes to love I take the blame 'Cause you are the one I should've held on to Yeah, it could've been you I never realized How time was on my side Lost sight of my perfect world And the man that ive become From the damage that i've done It's so clear to me now But I wished that I Never was the kind To steal a lonely heart And I didn't see how good you were for me Now it's too late to go back 'Cause when it comes to love I should know better When it comes to love I take the blame 'Cause you are the one I should've held on to When it comes to love Girl I can't help it When it comes to love I always lose my way And you are the one I should've held on to Ah, it could've been you Making a change in my heart Finding a new place to start Wondering what I can do Will I ever get over you, no When it comes to love I should know better When it comes to love I take the blame 'Cause you are the one I should've held on to When it comes to love Girl I can't help it When it comes to love I always lose my way And you are the one I should've held on to Ah, it could've been you
