    Ready or not? Interesting choice! I’m going to have to play that tonight and listen with new ears. Or is it a ‘love song’ in the way that Sting’s Every Breath You Take is (i.e. more of a ‘stalk you to death’ type of love song!)

    LMAO!!!!!! You know, I didn’t quite consider the implications of loving your boo whether “ready or not.” LOL…Perhaps less stalk to death, and more…hey, we’re two natty dreads jamming to Hill in her heyday…hey-hey!!! LOL

    LOL I get it! It’s less about ‘gonna find you and make you want me’ and more about two lovers reminiscing on the Fugees vibe and sound. Now I understand ;-)
