Thing Called Love

Don’t have to humble yourself to me I ain’t your judge or your king   Baby you know I ain’t no Queen of Sheba We may not even have our dignity this could be just a powerful thing Baby we can choose you know we ain’t no amoeba Are you ready for the thing called love Don’t come from me and you it comes from up above I ain’t no porcupine take off your kid gloves Are you ready for the thing called love I ain’t some icon carved out of soap Sent here to clean up your reputation Baby you know you ain’t no Prince Charming We can live in fear or act out of hope For some kind of peaceful situation Baby how come the cry of love is so alarming ...CHORUS BRIDGE:          Ugly ducklings don’t turn into swans And glide off down the lake Whether your sunglasses are off or on You only see the world you make CHORUS OUTRO: Are you ready for the thing called love Don’t come from me and you it comes from up above I ain’t no porcupine take off your kid gloves Are you ready for it   Are you ready for the thing called love Don’t come from me and you it comes from up above I ain’t no porcupine take off your kid gloves Are you ready for it     Are you ready for love baby     Oooh yeah babe Are you ready for love               OPENING RIFF: --------------- --------------- -------------0- ----------2---- -0--4---------- --------------- NOTE:   Thanks to the previous poster- I saw this in John Hiatt’s   directory and just changed it a bit to fit with the Raitt version.
