Thing Called Love

[A]Don't have to humble yourself to me, I ain't your judge or your king
[C]Baby,[G] you know I ain't no Queen of S[A]heba
[A]We may not even have our dignity, this could be just a powerful thing
[C]Baby we can ch[G]oose you know we ain't no a[A]moeba

[F]Are you ready for the t[Bb]hing called lo[C]ve
[F]Don't come from me and you, it [Bb]comes from up [C]above
[F]I ain't no porcupine, [Bb]take off your [C]kid gloves
[F]Are you ready for the [D]thing called l[A]ove

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

[A]  [C]   [A]  [C]  U[A]gly duc[C]klings don't turn into swans
[A]And g[C]lide off down the lake
W[A]hether your sungl[C]asses are off or on
[F]You only see the wo[D]rld you m[A]ake

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
[F]Are you ready for [Bb]it  [C]
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
[F]Are you ready for i[Bb]t    [C]
[F]Are you ready for l[Bb]ove, b[C]aby
[F]    O[Bb]ooh ye[C]ah babe
[F]Are you ready for lo[Bb]ve    [C]        [F]           [D]              [A]
