Ready Or Not
Almost Legendary Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Screaming out loud at the top of my lungs
Ready or not baby here I come
I know you're ready by the look in your eyes
No need to worry, we've got all night

It started out as a game
I knew it wasn't the same
Wanted to talk to you
But it's not easy
The music's playin' so loud
And people jumpin' around
But what you're wearin'
Drives me crazy

Through the crowd I see the look in your eyes
I don't wanna know anything except what you're doing tonight
I step up, I gotta figure this out
But I don't wanna know anything except for you tonight

Screaming out loud at the top of my lungs
Ready or not baby here I come
I know you're ready by the look in your eyes
No need to worry, we've got all night
I told you that I'm smart
And that I'd figure it out
I told you that it's wrong
So it's probably right
We both look up at all the stars
I take your hand you took my heart

And as the night goes on
I'm thinking this can't go wrong
Start to look around
Lose her completely
The music's playin' so loud
And people jumpin' around
And what she's wearin'

Drives me crazy

Through the crowd I see the look in your eyes
I don't wanna know anything except what you're doing tonight
I step up, I gotta figure this out
But I don't wanna know anything except for you tonight

Screaming out loud at the top of my lungs
Ready or not baby here I come
I know you're ready by the look in your eyes
No need to worry, we've got all night
I told you that I'm smart
And that I'd figure it out
I told you that it's wrong
So it's probably right
We both look up at all the stars
I take your hand you took my heart

Screaming out loud at the top of my lungs
Ready or not baby here I come
I know you're ready by the look in your eyes
No need to worry, we've got all night

Screaming out loud at the top of my lungs
Ready or not baby here I come
I know you're ready by the look in your eyes
No need to worry, we've got all night
I told you that I'm smart
And that I'd figure it out
I told you that it's wrong
So it's probably right




We both look up at all the stars
I take your hand you took my heart

Line by Line Meaning

Screaming out loud at the top of my lungs
Expressing my excitement and anticipation with a loud shout


Ready or not baby here I come
I'm coming for you, whether you're prepared or not


I know you're ready by the look in your eyes
I can see the desire and willingness in your eyes


No need to worry, we've got all night
We have plenty of time, no need to feel rushed


It started out as a game
Our interaction began as a playful exchange


I knew it wasn't the same
It quickly evolved into something more serious


Wanted to talk to you
I wanted to connect with you on a deeper level


But it's not easy
The circumstances make it difficult to communicate effectively


The music's playin' so loud
The loud music makes it hard to hear each other


And people jumpin' around
The crowded environment makes it difficult to move around and get close to each other


But what you're wearin' drives me crazy
Your attire is attractive and captivating, it's hard to take my eyes off you


Through the crowd I see the look in your eyes
Despite the chaos around us, I can still catch your gaze


I don't wanna know anything except what you're doing tonight
All I'm interested in right now is being with you tonight


I step up, I gotta figure this out
I need to take action and make a move


But I don't wanna know anything except for you tonight
My focus is solely on you and spending time together tonight


I told you that I'm smart
I have confidence in my own intelligence


And that I'd figure it out
I can handle this situation and come up with a plan


I told you that it's wrong
I know that what we're doing may not be entirely appropriate


So it's probably right
Sometimes taking a risk can lead to something great


We both look up at all the stars
We share a moment of awe and appreciation for the universe around us


I take your hand you took my heart
Our physical connection leads to an emotional bond and commitment


And as the night goes on
We continue to spend time together, enjoying each other's company


I'm thinking this can't go wrong
I feel a sense of confidence that we're meant to be together


Start to look around
I begin to take note of our surroundings once again


Lose her completely
I briefly lose sight of you in the crowd
