Not Ready Yet Lyrics by Eels

Beautiful Freak

1996

[Verse 1]
There's a world outside
And I know 'cause I've heard talk
In my sweetest dream
I would go out for a walk

[Chorus]
But I don't think I'm ready yet
I'm not feeling up to it now
Just not that steady yet
And I don't need you telling me how

[Verse 2]
There's some happiness
And my stone face cracks again
Maybe sometime sooner or later

[Chorus]
But I don't think I'm ready yet
I'm not feeling up to it now
Just not that steady yet
And I don't need you telling me how

[Verse 3]
So if I leave my room
Don't you tell me to lighten up
Maybe sometime sooner or later

[Chorus]
But I don't think I'm ready yet
I'm not feeling up to it now
Just not that steady yet
And I don't need you telling me how

[Outro]
I don't need you telling me how
I don't need you telling me how
Don't need you telling me how
Don't need you telling me how
Don't need you telling me how
Don't need you telling me how
Don't need you telling me how
