Whenever You re Ready (We ll Go Steady Again)
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Released as a UK B-side in June, 1973
I lived in a tenement six floors above
I lent you my records and I lent you my love
But you left me on the weekend without a by-your-leave
Thats a dirty and a low-down trick
My folks all think youre mean
But I dont mind, thats kind of nifty
You always set those break-ups in the movies
And just like a light honey you put me out
Now Im gonna do my best
To get you back in the nest you came from
You can erase me if you want to
Turn your back in other men
But whenever youre ready
Honey, well go steady again
Its nasty without you in my little room
I miss you like crazy, please come back soon
I was joking with those things I said
I couldnt have been thinking
If you dont come back I think Ill crack
Just like my old ceiling
