Oh, baby, I'm getting ready
I'm getting ready to let you go
My hands shake
My heart's unsteady
Oh how I want to love you so

I don't want to let this go
Wish I had a magic wand
I would put a spell on you
You would see it as I do
Oh, I'm getting ready to let you go
Oh, I'm getting ready to let you go

Oh, baby, you are my drug
And I was just your cigarette
I was nothing you could be proud of
I have lost my self respect
My self respect
My self respect
I have lost my self respect
Oh, I'm getting ready to let you go
Oh, I'm getting ready to let you go
I'm getting ready to let you go

Baby, baby, we got no traction
I'm waiting and waiting for your reaction
So I'll try a new direction
I'm gonna give myself a resurrection
I'm getting ready to let you go

Oh, I'm getting ready to let you go
Oh, I'm getting ready to let you go
I'm getting ready to let you go
I'm getting ready to let you go
