Introduction

Hey there! Let me tell you about a song that feels like a cozy chat with an old friend, Bryan Adams’ “I’m Ready.” You know, the kind of song that wraps around you like a warm blanket and gives you all the feels.

Released initially as part of his 1983 album *Cuts Like a Knife* and later reimagined acoustically in 1997, “I’m Ready” is one of those tracks that captures the essence of longing and readiness for love. Imagine sitting by a campfire, guitar in hand, and Bryan Adams is there singing directly to your heart. That’s the vibe we’re talking about!

What makes “I’m Ready” so special is its timeless simplicity. It’s all about being open and vulnerable, ready to dive headfirst into love, no matter the risks. The acoustic version, in particular, strips everything down to the raw emotions, letting Adams’ gravelly voice and heartfelt delivery shine through. It’s like he’s having a heart-to-heart with you, sharing his hopes and fears about love.

The song’s chorus is irresistibly catchy and has this way of sticking with you, echoing in your mind long after it’s over. It’s the kind of chorus you’d sing at the top of your lungs on a road trip with friends, windows down, wind in your hair.

And here’s a little tidbit for you: “I’m Ready” was featured during Adams’ MTV Unplugged session, where its acoustic charm was able to reach even more hearts. It’s a testament to how a great song can transcend different styles and still maintain its core emotion.

So, next time you’re in the mood for a song that’s both comforting and invigorating, give “I’m Ready” a listen. It’s like having Bryan Adams as your personal cheerleader, urging you to embrace love with open arms. What about you—do you have a song that gives you that same ready-for-anything feeling?

Lyrics

I’d like to see you, thought I’d let you know

I wanna be with you everyday, hey

Cause I’ve got a feeling that’s beginning to grow

And there’s only one thing I can say

I’m ready – to love you

I’m ready – to hold you, don’t you know

I’m ready – to love you

I’m ready – I’m ready

As ready as I’m gonna be

She left me a long note when she left me here

Told me that love was hard to find

But baby it’s easy and I’ll make it clear

That there’s only one thing on my mind

I’m ready – to love you

I’m ready – to hold you, don’t you know

I’m ready – to love you

I’m ready – I’m ready

As ready as I’m gonna be

Yeah, I’m ready – to love you

I’m ready – to hold you, don’t you know

I’m ready – to love you

I’m ready – to hold you, girl don’t you know

I’m ready – to love you, come on now

I’m ready – to hold you, yeah

I’m ready – to love you, sweet babe

I’m ready – to hold you, I’m ready, ready

I’m ready – to love you

I’m ready – to hold you
