Ready for Some Action

Lyrics

I was raised a lot like Cinderella Momma and Poppa never let me near the fellas Girl, you just gotta wait 'Til the right guy comes your way That's what they'd say! Straight home after school to do my chores Wash the windows and the dishes And for God's sake forget about the boys Yes, ma'am! Everybody says all of a sudden I seem to have a one track mind Tell me, what's wrong with growing up It happens all the time And I'm ready for some action, action, action Need some satisfaction, faction, whoo! Somebody to hold me tight (tight) And tell me, baby, everything's alright Momma and Poppa never answered my questions About the birds and the bees They would just give me a funny look And say get to your studying, please Wait a minute, Momma Love is something special At least that's what my girlfriends say But I'm still waiting, anticipating I wish Prince Charming would come along 'Cause I'm ready to get it on I'm ready for some action, action, action Need some satisfaction, faction, whoo! Somebody to hold me tight (tight) And tell me, baby, everything's alright I'm ready for some action, action, action Need some satisfaction, faction I've been couped up much too long (long) And I'm ready and willin' to get it on I know Momma and Poppa don't mean me no harm They just forgot what it's like to be young Oh, how I wish they knew where I was comin' from I know what I'm about to say to you, Momma Might not sound ladylike But just because my thinkin's Changed from toys to boys There's no need to get uptight (Still love you, Momma) And please don't tell me what I'm feelin', Momma Will soon pass with time 'Cause whoever said everybody needs love Must have been reading my mind I'm ready for some action, action, action Need some satisfaction, faction I'm like a timebomb ready to explode And I can't take no more Gonna put on my walking shoes Hit the street, get rid of these blues Make a stop at every disco in town Find a partner and get on down Sing, dance, do my thing Cast my fate to the wind I know you think I'm freakin' out, but... I'm ready for some action, action, action Need some satisfaction, faction I've been couped up much too long (long) And I'm ready and willin' to get it on I'm ready for some action, action, action Need some satisfaction, faction I'm like a timebomb ready to explode I can't take no more Momma, I know about my ABC's Now I wanna know about the birds and the bees Said I'm ready, ready Ready for some action, Momma Momma, you know I'm growin' up I wanna get out and strut my stuff Said, I'm ready, you know that I'm ready Got a burnin' deep down inside I wanna spread my wings and fly Oh, Momma, please let me go Momma, I don't mean no disrespect But your daughter is a nervous wreck Said, I'm ready, I'm ready for some action I'm ready for some action
