美國非裔美女歌手［佩柏絲］──R&B／放克／嘻哈曲──［Are You Ready?／你準備好了嗎?］

[Intro/Chorus]

If I show you what youre missing

You wanna come back to me

What’s the point in reminiscing?

Are you ready for me?

[Verse 1]

If I told you once, Ive told you a thousand times

You can walk out of my door

But you cant keep a lock on my mind

So go ’head, keep runnin, try to hide it

But youre gonna miss my love in the middle of the night

[Pre-Chorus]

So dont try to fight it

Baby baby, cant you see

You cant deny it

You know you wanna be with me

Our loves exciting, hoo

Baby baby, we both know

Oh, oh baby, but remember this, that I can resist

If I dont want ya, baby

[Chorus]

So if I show you what you’re missing

You wanna come back to me

But what’s the point in reminiscing?

Are you ready for me? Oh-ah, oh-ah

Primis Player Placeholder

[Verse 2]

If you move, you lose it

So baby, dont move too fast, no

You need to spend quality time if you wanna make it last, oh

When you have a good thing, you know you gotta hold on tight

Or you might miss my love in the middle of the night

[Pre-Chorus]

So don’t try to fight it

Baby baby, cant you see

You cant deny it

You know you wanna be with me

Our loves exciting, hoo

Baby baby, we both know

Oh, oh baby, but remember this, that I can resist

If I don’t want ya, baby

[Chorus]

So if I show you what youre missing

You wanna come back to me

Whats the point in reminiscing?

Are you ready for me? Oh-ah, oh-ah

If I show you what youre missing (if I show ya, show ya)

You wanna come back to me

Whats the point in reminiscing?

Are you ready for me? Oh-ah, oh-ah

[Bridge]

Are you ready for me? Cause Im ready for you

Are you ready for me? Ill do what you want me to

Are you ready for me? Cause Im ready for you

Yes, Im ready (oh-ah, oh-ah)

[Chorus]

If I show you what youre missing (if I show ya)

You wanna come back to me (you wanna come back to me)

Whats the point in reminiscing?

Are you ready for me? (are you ready for me, babe?)

If I show you what youre missing (if I show ya)

You wanna come back to me (you wanna come back to me, baby)

Whats the point in reminiscing?

Are you ready for me? (are you ready for me, babe)

If I show you what youre missing

(show you what youre missing, baby)

You wanna come back to me (back to me)

Whats the point in reminiscing? (point in reminiscing, baby)

Are you ready for me? Oh-ah, oh-ah

自１９８７年出道後　美國黑人美女歌手佩柏絲（Pebbles）以前兩張大碟［Pebbles］〔Always／永遠〕走紅歌壇, 推出四首US 流行榜Top20

１９９５年９月, ２９歲半的佩柏絲推出第三張大碟［Straight from My Heart］（MCA唱片）

這回製作人並沒有將她捧紅的丈夫與好友：L.A. Reid ＆Babyface

而採用眾多新人Alex Richbourg, Organized Noize, Sean "Puffy" Combs, Chucky Thompson, Tony Rich, Joe Rich, Kyle West, Mario Winans, 以及佩柏絲本人。

由於R&B音樂流行改變, 專輯曲風也逐漸轉向更硬式的嘻哈樂風。

首支主打［Are You Ready?／你準備好了嗎?］

由Arthur Hoyle, Debra Killings, Richbourg, Jason Sylvain, Mario Winans＆佩柏絲譜寫

Mario Winans製作成一首R&B／放克／嘻哈曲, 由P.A.負責饒舌, 與過去樂風迥異。

佩柏絲的嗓音細緻誘人,

只是這時歌壇變化太大, 大眾對其樂風接受度小, 導致［Are You Ready?］並沒打入Billboard單曲榜, 只登上副榜－R&B榜＃３８

導致［Straight from My Heart］銷售不佳, 只登上專輯榜＃１４６　副榜＃４３

讓佩柏絲聲勢急速下滑

這是她跟MCA唱片合約最後一張專輯

１９９６年佩柏絲與L.A. Reid離婚。

直到２００８年才在獨立唱片公司推出第四張走福音的大碟
