[Verse 1]
So many times
I said that I loved them
Looking over my shoulder at the door
So many times
"I can't live without her"
The wheel kept turning round

[Refrain]
(Sarah)
My feelings changed (Martha)
I went my own way (Sandy)
What can I say (Nancy)
To make you stay?

[Verse 2]
'Cause in my dreams
They smother all over me
And I'm trying to explain
So many arms
Reach from my memories
Pull all at once
I'm lost amongst
The folds in their skin

[Refrain]
(Barbara)
I did you wrong (Sandra)
But I'm sorry now (Shirley)
And I'll show you how
(Stevie)
[Chorus]
If you were here now (You couldn't change)
(You wouldn't understand)
But I'm ready now (Are you ready now?)
I'll make you proud I was your man (Martine)
I sang you songs (Mandy)
But they're so ugly now (Maxine)
And I'll show you how

[Hook]
'Cause I'm ready now
(Are you ready now?)
Hey, I'm ready now
(Are you ready now?)
Hey, I'm ready now
(Can we start again?) (Sarah)
So many times (Martha)
(We start again)
I've said that I loved them
(Are you ready now?)
But I'm ready now (Are you ready now?)
(Can we start again?) (Barbara)
So many times (Sandra)
(We start again)
I can't live without her (Are you ready now?)
(Are you ready now?)
The ache was more than I could bear
(It's turning round)
It's turning round
(It's turning round)
[Outro]
But I'm ready now (Are you ready now?)
Hey, I'm ready now
(Are you ready now?)
(Can we start again?) (Martine)
But in my dreams (Mandy)
(We start again)
They smother all over me (Are you ready now?)
(Are you ready now?)
And I'm trying to explain
(Can we start again?) (Maxine)
So many arms
(We start again)
Reach from my memory (Are you ready now?)
(Are you ready now?)
The wheel keeps turning round
(It's turning round)
It's turning round
(It's turning round)
But I'm ready now
(Are you ready now?)
Hey, I'm ready now (Are you ready now?)
(Can we start again?)
