내 맘에 불을 지른 that girl
I say brr!
난 정말 어쩌자고 널 불러 앉혀놓고
어쩌자고 커피를 시켜놓고 (girl, g-g-g-girl)
이렇게 얼어붙어 자꾸만 횡설수설
어지러워 자꾸만 안절부절 (girl, g-g-g-girl)
나 오늘은 꼭 말을 하리
정말 말을 하려는데 (girl, girl)
그만 좀 쳐다볼래 네 미소에
그게 자꾸 잘 안되네 (girl)
한숨 한번 내쉬고 크게 oh, oh
눈 딱 감고 한번 내뱉어 그게 ooh, ooh
Are you ready or not? You ready or not?
(안될 것 같아 또 굳게 입술을 닫는다)
Are you ready or not? You ready or not?
(미칠 것 같아 오늘도 내 말을 막는다)
어쩌라고 넌 그리 예뻐 놓고
어쩌라고 내 맘 다 훔쳐놓고 (girl, g-g-g-girl)
목소린 작아지고 자꾸만 자신 없어
돌아서면 기회는 다신 없어 (girl, g-g-g-girl)
나 솔직히 지금껏 널 stop! (Uh)
미치겠네 (girl, girl)
세상에 둘도 없는 먼저리 바보
같아 답답해 (girl)
한숨 한번 내쉬고 크게 oh, oh
눈 딱 감고 한번 내뱉어 그게 ooh, ooh
Are you ready or not? You ready or not?
(안될 것 같아 또 굳게 입술을 닫는다)
Are you ready or not? You ready or not?
(미칠 것 같아 오늘도 내 말을 막는다)
Are you ready or not? Ready or not?
Girl, I wanna speak my mind
아직 모자라도 그래도 난 널 사랑하고 싶은데
Are you ready or not? You ready or not?
(잘될 것 같아 힘주어 네 손을 잡는다)
Are you ready or not? You ready or not?
(꿈인 것 같아 날 보며 그녀가 웃는다)
Are you ready or not? You ready or not?
(얼마나 지금을 많이 기다렸는지)
Are you ready or not? You ready or not? ('cause you're my only girl)
The lyrics of Shinee’s song “Ready or Not” convey the struggle between two people who share a mutual attraction, but cannot seem to express their feelings. The song starts with the singer hypnotized by the girl’s charm and beauty. He desperately tries to impress her, but finds himself stumbling over his words and actions. However, as the song progresses, the singer grows more assertive and decides to confess his feelings to the girl. He asks her if she is ready to hear what he has to say, while questioning his own readiness to confess.
The singer sings about the internal monologue that occurs when a person is trying to communicate deep-seated emotions to another. The verses illustrate the singer’s frustration with his own inability to manage his emotions enough to articulate what he feels. The chorus repeatedly asks if the girl is ready to accept the singer’s confession, with the singer acknowledging that this may not be the case.
