Ready or Not
Abbie Ferris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I ain't waiting baby
Ready or not here I come
Open up the gates let this wild horse run
It's Hide and Seek and I'm counting down
My eyes are uncovered, and I'm already found
Ready or not
Here I come
Like it or not
I know what I want
Come hell or high water
Can't stop the show-stopper
Bring it on, what you got?
Ready or not
Here I come
Ready, ready, ready
I ain't waiting baby
I'm taking the reins
I'm taking control
So get a front row seat
Cuz I'm the headline show
Spotlights on me, I'm the starring role
Ready or not
Here I come
Like it or not
I know what I want
Come hell or high water
Can't stop the showstopper
Bring it on, what you got?
Ready or not
Here I come
(Ready, ready, ready)
I ain't waiting baby
(Ready, ready, ready)
I ain't waiting baby
Ready or not
Here I come
Like it or not
I know what I want
Ready or not
Here I come
Like it or not
I know what I want
Come hell or high water
Can't stop the showstopper
Bring it on, what you got?
Ready or not
Here I come
(Ready, ready, ready)
I ain't waiting baby
(Ready, ready, ready)
I ain't waiting baby
Ready, ready, ready
I ain't waiting baby
Ready, ready, ready
I ain't waiting for no one
