Ready Or Not
Joybird Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let me show you
Show you what I got
Are you ready,
Ready or not
Once I'm going
I can't stop
Are you ready
Ready or not

Ready, ready, ready, ready, ready, ready
Ready or not
Ready, ready, ready, ready, ready, ready
Ready or not

Feelin' brand new
Lemme, lemme show you
Everything you've been waiting for
Got that tightly
Feelin', feelin' flirty
Wanna taste
Wanna little bit more

I was satisfied
If you got the appetite
I see it in your eyes
You're feelin' high
Just ride my vibe

Let me show you
Show you what I got
Are you ready
Ready or not
Once I'm going
I can't stop
Are you ready
Ready or not

Ready, ready, ready, ready, ready, ready
Ready or not
Ready, ready, ready, ready, ready, ready
Ready or not

Time to go go
Bounce like a pogo
Up and down and spin me like a yoyo
Turn the lights off
Come and lay the beats off
Wanna taste, want a little bit more

I was satisfied
If you got the appetite
I see it in your eyes
You're feelin' high
Just ride my vibe

Let me show you
Show you what I got
Are you ready
Ready or not
Once I'm going
I can't stop
Are you ready
Ready or not

Ready, ready, ready, ready, ready, ready
Ready or not




Ready, ready, ready, ready, ready, ready
Ready or not
