Ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh

You better get ready

[Verse 1]
You don't know what it is to be lonely, no
And you never knew how it felt to be left all alone, baby

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Pretty soon you'll be grieving (Grieving, grieving)
Because I'm leaving (I'm leaving, I'm leaving)
So get ready, get ready (Get ready, get ready)

[Chorus]
For your first taste of hurt, baby
For your first taste of hurt now

[Verse 2]
Now I know that I'm the only woman
Who ever had the nerve to think about putting you down, baby
(I put you down)
Hmm, yeah
(I put you down)
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I'm gonna drop some hurt, yeah (I'm gonna drop some hurt, yeah)
Gonna make your heart burst, yeah (Gonna make your heart burst, yeah)
So get ready, get ready (Get ready, get ready)

[Chorus]
For your first taste of hurt, baby, hmm
(Get ready, baby) Your first of hurt, yes, hmm

[Bridge]
All the girls you dated
They treated you like a king
But every girl, every girl you dated
Did never, ever mean a thing

[Verse 2]
Now I know that I'm the only woman, yes, I am
Who ever had the nerve to think about putting you down, baby
(I put you down)
Oh-oh
(I put you down)

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I'm gonna drop some hurt, yeah
Gonna make your heart burst, baby
Just get ready, get ready (Get ready, get ready)
[Chorus]
For your first taste of hurt, baby, oh
(Get ready, baby) Your first of hurt now, hmm
And it's not gonna taste good now
Get ready, baby, hmm
Get ready, get ready, get ready
For your first taste
Come on, hey
Get ready, get ready, get ready
For your first taste of hurt now
Your first taste of hurt, baby
Your first taste of hurt now

[Outro]
See, you just don't know
You just don't know what it is to be alone, baby
But you're about to find out
I'm gonna show you
I'm gonna show you how it feels to be alone
(Here we go, here we go)
(Here we go, here we go)
Yes, I am
(Better get ready)
Oh, yeah
(Here we go, here we go)
Get ready, get ready, get ready
(Here we go, here we go)
(Better get ready)
Come on
For your first taste, baby
