note: Covered by Bonnie Raitt on Nick of Time,
This was written by John Haitt, Tabbed as Hiatt plays it on Bring the Family.
The opening/main riff is:
F#5 Don't have to humble yourself to me
I ain't your judge or your king
ABaby,E you know you ain't no Queen of F#5Sheba
We may not even have our own dignity, no
This could be just some prideful thing,
ABaby we can Echoose you know we ain't no aF#5moebas E
D But are you ready for this Gthing called Alove?
D Don't come from you and me, Gcomes from up aAbove
D I ain't no porcupineG, take off your Akid gloves,
D Are you ready for this B5thing called F#5love?
And you ain't some icon carved out of soap,
Sent down here to clean up my reputation
Baby, I ain't your Prince Charming,
Now we can live in fear or act out of hope,
For some kind of peaceful situation
Baby, don't know why the cry of love is so alarming
Chorus
F#5 A The ugly ducklings don't turn into swans,
F#5 A And glide off down on the lake,
F#5 A Whether your sunglasses are off or on,
D You only see the B5world you make
F#5A5B5E5
F#5 Before the A5laws of God and laws of B5man I take you E5for my wife, yeah
To love, honour, cherish and obey,
Now I didn't have no plans to live this kind of life, no
It just worked out that way
And are you ready for this thing called love?
Don't come from you and me, comes from up above
I ain't no porcupine, take off your kid gloves,
D Are you ready for it? G A
And are you ready for this thing called love?
Don't come from you and me, comes from up above
I ain't no porcupine, take off your kid gloves,
Are you ready for this thing called love?
