ready for love

i was told
guess it was true
after a year,
that'd do.
if i had a plant
and it didn't die
if i had a pet
and it wasn't dead yet
then i'd be ready
then i'd be steady
then i could try
& get by
in a relationship.

so i bought
some plants,
plastic it's true .
got me an animal
yeah he's stuffed too.

don't think they'll die
nor go away
just have to dust 'em
know they'll stay.

so in a year
maybe two
i'll be ready
for lovin' you.
