Playful, swinging and impossibly catchy.
I'm the kinda girl
Who doesn't say a world
Who sits at the curb
And waits for the world
But I'm about to break out , about to break out
I'm like a crook tonight
I caught you staring at me
And now I was thinking clearly
Now I'm like a bee
And I'm hunting for the honey
And I'm kinda shy but , you super fly yeah ,
I could be your kryptonite
Like Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Light my heart up baby , like a matchstick
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh oOh
And hit the gas quick
Ready or Not , here I come
Where you at? The night is young
In the crowd the music's loud
But I will find you
Ready or Not , here I come
I like your face, do you like my song ?
Just sing it la la la la la la la
And I find you
Ready or Not , Ready or Not
Hello , my name is (Bridgit)
Nice to meet you
I think you're famous
Where have I seen you ?
You'll be my William ,I'll be your Kate
living like a fairytale
We could have a palace
right next to Oprah
37 Cars and a yacht
down in boca
Take me away , wherever you say ,
yeah we could be setting sail
Like Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
Light my heart up baby , like a matchstick
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh oOh
And hit the gas quick
Ready or Not , here I come
Where you at? The night is young
In the crowd the music's loud
But I will find you
Ready or Not , here I come
I like your face, do you like my song ?
Just sing it la la la la la la la
And I find you
Ready or Not , Ready or Not
Ready or not , here I come , here I come
You're like a breath of fresh air in my lungs
You and me dance from the night to the dawn
Ready or not , here I come boy , It's on
Ready or not , here I come , here I come
You're like a breath of fresh air in my lungs
You and me dance from the night to the dawn
Ready or not , here I come boy , It's on
Ready or Not , here I come
Where you at? The night is young
In the crowd the music's loud
But I will find you
Ready or Not , here I come
I like your face, do you like my song ?
Just sing it la la la la la la la
And I find you
Ready or Not

In an interview about what the song is about, Mendler said: "It’s a fun song about a girl who is feeling like she has been the wallflower her whole life and she wants to go out there and take charge. It has the romantic element of her going for the guy rather than waiting for the world to come to her".
