Rod Stewart - Ready Now lyrics

(Stewart, Stocker) I gave trust like an innocent kid I believed everything you said A parasite that fed on doubt yeah it's you that I'm talking about You rode heavy on my fame then you scandalized my name You robbed me blind with a ( ) You lacerated your closest friend I don't know how you sleep at night with your conscience Do they still kiss your feet and is life as sweet in my absence I'm ready now, ready now for what I gotta give I'm ready now, ready now for how I want to live I don't want no sweet revenge it'll come and get you in the end Laugh now while the truth's unknown cause pretty soon it'll be my turn One of these days and it won't be long I will find you Lock up your gates you'll need all of your snakes to defend you I'm ready now, ready now for what I gotta give I'm ready now, ready now for how I want to live I'm bitter now, but wait and see You ain't heard the last of me I'll dance on your grave when they finally put you away What'd I do to deserve all this evil attention A thousand years will never buy you redemption Are you ready now, ready now for what you gotta give Are you ready now, ready now for how you gotta give Are you ready
