Lyrics Whenever you're ready Mahalia

Whenever you're ready

I won’t lie to you
Said you needed space
In a rage, I was scared to say bye to you
I didn’t understand why you ran away
What was I supposed to do?
Terrified that the end of us would end my life
Till I realised

That you ain’t nothing without me
I’m nothing without you
There’s too much history
Yeah, we got something good
But I’ma set you free
You won’t be gone for good
No, I’m not worried

So whenever you’re ready, I’ll be here
Love you if you let me
You’ll see me (Yeah, you’ll see me)
You’ll never forget me (Yeah), let’s be clear
Whenever you’re ready (When you’re ready, babe)
Come back to my loving arms, yeah

I know you’re mad at me, uh
But I ain’t gonna cry ’cause you told me you’re protecting your sanity
And it don’t matter either way
At the end of day, you’re still bound to me (Yeah, you’re bound)
You can hide (Ha)
But the truth is you’ll always be mine (Yeah)
You don’t realise (No, you don’t, no, you don’t)

That you ain’t nothing without me (Ain’t nothing without me)
I’m nothing without you (It ain’t too)
It ain’t too hard to see (Hard to see)
That we got something good (Good)
But I’m gon’ set you free (Ha)
You won’t be gone for good (Gone for good)
No, I’m not worried (No)

So whenever you’re ready (When you’re ready, yeah), I’ll be here (I’ll be)
Love you if you let me (Uh)
You’ll see me (You will see me)
You’ll never forget me, let’s be clear
So whenever you’re ready
I’ll take you in with open arms, yeah

(Ayy, ayy-ayy-ayy)
Whenever you’re ready, ready, ready, ready
Come back to my loving arms
No, I’m not begging on my knees (On my knees)
Holding on for you to stay (You to stay)
If you gotta go then you gotta go
I gotta let you be on your way (On your way)
But come and give me one more kiss (One more kiss)
And tell me that the feelings changed
You know it ain’t

So whenever you’re ready (When you’re ready, yeah), I’ll be here (I’ll be)
Love you if you let me (Uh)
You’ll see me (You will see me)
You’ll never forget me, let’s be clear
So whenever you’re ready
Come back to my loving arms, oh
So whenever you’re ready (Yeah), I’ll be here (Yes, I’ll be here, baby)
Even if you left me, I’ll be hoping
You’ll never forget me, let’s be clear
So whenever you’re ready
I’ll take you in with open arms, yes
