Jesse McCartney Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You just turned eighteen
A week ago
And you want to learn
What you don't know
You're grown up don't need permission
Find out what you've been missin'

It took some time but now you really wanna figure out
Just what it is that all the other
Girls are talkin' 'bout
And It's drivin' your Mama Crazy
Cause Daddy's little girl is now my baby

I think you're ready baby
I think you're ready baby
Come on and get it baby
I think you're
I think you're

You've always followed all the rules
Done just what you're supposed to
Stick the key in the ignition
And light it up
Have a taste of what it's like
To be old enough

Move your body baby
Lemme see you work it!
Lookin' at you
Make me wanna blow a circut!
And it's drivin' your Mama Crazy
Cause Daddy's little girl is now my baby

I think you're ready baby
I think you're ready baby
Come on and get it baby
I think you're
I think you're

I think you're ready baby
(C'mon)
Daddy's little girl is ready baby
(C'mon)
I think you're ready baby
I think you're
I think you're

Tell me girl if I'm mistakin'
All the singles that you're makin'
Brought you to the road you're takin'
So c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, let's go

Girl shake what your Mama gave ya
Shake it like ya tryin' to break it
'Bout to start an earthquake
Boom!
Hey!

I think you're ready baby
I think you're ready baby
Come on and get it baby
I think you're
I think you're

I think you're ready baby
I think you're ready baby
Come on and get it baby




I think you're
I think you're
