After letting the cat
Out into the night
I locked all the doors
And I turned out the light
I used the phone in the hall
I close my eyes
And I make the call
I told my mother
Not to despair
I'll only come home
If you won't run my affairs
The ticket that I got in my hand
Leads right downtown
To the promised land
I left a message for the milkman
Nothing today
Cause I ain't coming home
Never mind the letters
That require reply
Cause I'm
All messed up and ready
Cause I'm
All messed up and ready
Cause I'm
All messed up and ready to go
I hadn't had a lover for days
I've been saying to myself
As my patience fades
Now I got to find my delight
She's out there I know
And I'll need her tonight
I'm working out the things
That I'll say
And I know first
That she's gonna turn me away
The more she seems
Unwilling to please
She'll call me right back
And get down on her knees
Repeat Chorus
I'm
Cause I'm
Cause I'm
Cause I'm
All messed up and ready
Cause I'm (cause I'm)
All messed up and ready
Cause I'm (cause I'm)
All messed up and ready
Cause I'm (cause I'm)
All messed up and ready to go
