Ready for You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Maybe I was trying to forget
All my crazy reactions, over my ex
Maybe you played way too hard to get
So I kept it moving to another one night stand

[Pre-Chorus]
I promise I will treat you right, treat you right, babe
'Cause that's all I wanna do, oh
I promise I will treat you right, treat you right, babe
So that's what I'm gonna do

[Chorus]
I promise I'll treat you right
Been waiting my whole damn life
Baby, it's about time
I wasn't ready for you
Funny how this whole game played
Three years since I learned your name
The wrong time, the wrong place
I wasn't ready for you

[Verse 2]
Maybe I couldn't tell you why
Denied the first night I met you
We were locking eyes
They said you'd be like all the other guys
Two faced but too known to know it
Telling you pretty lies

[Pre-Chorus]
But I promise I will treat you right, treat you right, babe
'Cause that's all I wanna do, oh
I promise I will treat you right, treat you right, babe
So that's what I'm gonna do

[Bridge]
Keep thinking about you
Thinking you almost slipped through
There won't be another day I let you get away
I keep calling 'til your guard comes down
'Cause I wanna keep you around
'Cause we started something good
But just know that before you
I wasn't ready for you
I wasn't ready for you
When you first met me (For you)
That's what I'm gonna do
I wasn't ready, I wasn't ready for you, baby
I wasn't ready for you, baby
For you, baby, for you, baby
I wasn't ready for you

[Chorus]
I promise I'll treat you right
Been waiting my whole damn life (waiting my whole damn life)
Baby, it's about time
I wasn't ready for you (I wasn't ready for you)
Funny how this whole game played
Three years since I learned your name
The wrong time, the wrong place
I wasn't ready for you

[Outro]
I wasn't ready, baby
I wasn't ready for you
I wasn't ready
(I wasn't ready for you)
I wasn't ready, baby
I wasn't ready for you, babe
I wasn't ready
(I wasn't ready for you)
I wasn't ready, I wasn't ready, no
I wasn't ready
(I wasn't ready for you)
I wasn't ready

If I Could Change Your Mind

Days Are Gone

[Verse 1]
Maybe I was trying to forget
All my crazy reactions, over my ex
Maybe you played way too hard to get
So I kept it moving to another one night stand

[Pre-Chorus]
I promise I will treat you right, treat you right, babe
'Cause that's all I wanna do, oh
I promise I will treat you right, treat you right, babe
So that's what I'm gonna do

[Verse 2]
Maybe I couldn't tell you why
Denied the first night I met you
We were locking eyes
They said you'd be like all the other guys
Two faced but too known to know it
Telling you pretty lies

[Pre-Chorus]
But I promise I will treat you right, treat you right, babe
'Cause that's all I wanna do, oh
I promise I will treat you right, treat you right, babe
So that's what I'm gonna do

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.
