I taught him how to talk to me
I showed him what a woman needs
A hand just to hold in the darkHe used to think it was enough
Sending flowers to show love
Now he knows he's gotta open up his heartAnd the saddest thing 'bout how it all came down
Is he's not here with me nowI got him ready for you
Look at all the things he can do
You can cry on his shoulder
He might even cry tooHe's come a long, long way
And it's tragic but true
I guess I got him ready for youI wouldn't say I have regrets
'Bout the times that we both spent
If the truth be known, I'm a little better tooSo when he does the little things
When he treats you like a queen
In a crazy way, I'm bearing the roodOoh, I feel like I did all the fixing him up
But you moved into our house of loveI got him ready for you
Look at all the things he can do
You can cry on his shoulder
He might even cry tooHe's come a long, long way
And it's tragic but true
I guess I got him ready for youI don't blame you, I'm not saying
You stole him away from me
I just want you to know
He's not the man he used to be, yeahHe's come a long, long way
And it's tragic but true
I guess I got him ready for you, oh, oh, yeah
I guess I got him ready for you
