Can't Get Ready For Losing You
Heartache Harmony: The Jackson 5's Tale of Love Unraveled
Lyrics
Oh, girl
Expressing a feeling of longing or regret towards a girl.
I can't get ready (Can't get ready for losing you)
Unable to prepare emotionally for the possibility of losing the girl.
Oh, girl
Reiteration of the difficulty in getting ready for the potential loss of the girl.
I can't get ready (Can't get ready for losing you) no, no, no
Emphasizing the challenge of preparing for the impending separation.
I can't get ready (Can't get ready)
Continuing to express the emotional unpreparedness for losing the girl.
For losing you (Can't get ready for losing you)
Stating the difficulty in getting ready for the anticipated loss of the girl.
Girl, I can't get ready (Can't get ready) no, no, no
Reiterating the emotional unpreparedness for losing the girl.
For losing you (Can't get ready for losing you)
Expressing the emotional challenge of getting ready for the potential loss.
Oh, can't get ready (Can't get ready)
Continuing to highlight the emotional difficulty in preparing for separation.
No, girl for losing you
Emphasizing the emotional challenge of losing the girl.
Losing you (Can't get ready for losing you)
Reiterating the emotional difficulty in getting ready for the potential loss.
Thought I had your love in the palm of my hands
Reflecting on the belief that the love was secure but acknowledging its slip away.
But I let it slip away from me, girl
Expressing regret for letting the love slip away.
And now you're happy with another guy
Observing the girl's happiness with someone else.
Someone who doesn't make you cry (He doesn't make you cry)
Noting that the new person in her life doesn't cause her pain.
And now it's got me shedding tears
Experiencing sorrow and shedding tears due to the situation.
Oh girl, how I wish you were here
Expressing a desire for the girl to be present despite the current circumstances.
'Cause I can't get ready (Can't get ready)
Reiterating the emotional unpreparedness for the possibility of losing the girl.
No, for losing you (Can't get ready for losing you) no, no, no
Emphasizing the difficulty in getting ready for the anticipated loss.
I can't get ready (Can't get ready)
Expressing the emotional challenge of preparing for the potential separation.
Oh, girl for losing you (Can't get ready for losing you) no, no, no
Reiterating the emotional unpreparedness for losing the girl.
Can't get ready (Can't get ready) oh girl, for losing you
Underlining the emotional difficulty in getting ready for the potential loss.
Losing you (Can't get ready for losing you)
Repeating the emotional challenge of losing the girl.
Girl, I took your love for granted
Acknowledging taking the girl's love for granted and expressing remorse.
I know, I know, I treated you so unkind
Recognizing mistreatment of the girl and understanding the consequences.
And now the shoe is on the other foot
Highlighting a role reversal where the consequences are now faced.
And you don't even take a second look
Noticing that the girl doesn't show interest despite the change in circumstances.
You told me there would come a time
Recalling the girl's earlier warning about a future consequence.
Oh,girl, it's really blowing my mind
Expressing surprise and emotional impact of the predicted consequence.
'Cause I can't get ready (Can't get ready) no, no, no, no, no
Reiterating the emotional difficulty in getting ready for the potential loss.
For losing you (Can't get ready for losing you)
Expressing the emotional challenge of preparing for the impending separation.
Oh, can't get ready (Can't get ready)
Stating the difficulty in getting ready for the anticipated loss of the girl.
For losing you (Can't get ready for losing you) no, no, no
Emphasizing the emotional unpreparedness for losing the girl.
Can't get ready (Can't get ready)
Continuing to highlight the emotional difficulty in preparing for separation.
For losing you (Can't get ready for losing you)
Reiterating the emotional challenge of losing the girl.
