Oh, baby, I'm getting ready 
I'm getting ready to let you go 
My hands shake, my heart's unsteady 
Oh, how I once loved you so 

I know all the magic's gone 
Wish I had a magic wand 
I would put a spell on you 
You would see it as I do 
Oh, I'm getting ready to let you go 
Oh, I'm getting ready to let you go 

Oh, baby, you were my drug 
And I was just your cigarette 
I was nothing you could be proud of 
I have lost my self respect, self respect 
I have lost my self respect 
Oh, I'm getting ready to let you go 
Oh, I'm getting ready to let you go 

Baby, baby, I got no traction 
I'm just waiting and waiting for your reaction 
And so I try a new direction 
I'm gonna give myself a resurrection 
I'm getting ready, I'm getting ready 
Oh, I'm getting ready to let you go 
Oh, I'm getting ready to let you go
