Are You Ready
ACDC (1992) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sweet apple pie
Standing in the street
Hands outta line
Looking for some meat
She take you high
When you feel her sting
She make you fly
And you know you're coming

Who all need it who
Who all need it you
Who all need it, who all need it
You all breathe it, we all need it
Are you ready for a good time
Then get ready for the night line

She making eyes
At everything she meet
ain't it a crime
When she make you pump heat
She make you fly
Because that's her thing
She make you dry
And you know you're broken in

Who all need it, who all need it
You all breathe it, we all need it




Are you ready for a good time
Then get ready for the night line
