Ready or Not Lyrics

I hear you thrashing 'round the bathroom
It won't be long now 'til you're done
While I lie paralyzed in the half-gloom
And dread the death-row chord of

I'm coming, coming
Ready or not
Don't make out like you're sleeping, sleeping
'Cause I know you're not
Yeah, I'm coming, coming

I lock the moon behind the curtain
Don't want it watching what goes on
'Cause if I told you where it's hurting
You'd beat me deaf and dumb with

I'm coming, coming
Ready or not
Don't make out like you're sleeping, sleeping
'Cause I know you're not
Coming
Ready or not
You act like such a sweet thing, sweet thing
But I know you're not
So I'm coming, coming

Am I the one thing you have chosen,
The only selfish thing you've done?
The bedroom door comes flying open
But I'm already gone

'Cause I'm running, running
Fast as I can
This feels just like I'm dreaming, dreaming
Please don't say I am
Coming
Ready or not
Don't make out like you're sleeping, sleeping
'Cause I know you're not
Coming
Ready or not
You act like such a sweet thing, sweet thing
But I know you're not
So I'm coming, coming
Yeah I'm coming

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
