Ready for Some Action Lyrics by June Pointer

Baby Sister

0

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
