Ready For It Lyrics
Knew he was a killer first time that I saw him
Wonder how many girls he had loved and left haunted
But if he's a ghost, then I can be a phantom
Holdin' him for ransom
Some, some boys are tryin' too hard
He don't try at all, though
Younger than my exes but he act like such a man, so
I see nothing better, I keep him forever
Like a vendetta-ta
I-I-I see how this is gon' go
Touch me and you'll never be alone
I-Island breeze and lights down low
No one has to know
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
You should see the things we do, baby, mmm
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
I know I'm gonna be with you
So I take my time
Are you ready for it?
Knew I was a robber first time that he saw me
Stealing hearts and running off and never saying sorry
But if I'm a thief, then he can join the heist
And we'll move to an island, and
And he can be my jailer, Burton to this Taylor
Every lover known in comparison is a failure
I forget their names now, I'm so very tame now
Never be the same now, now
I-I-I see how this is gon' go
Touch me and you'll never be alone
I-Island breeze and lights down low
No one has to know
(No one has to know)
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
You should see the things we do, baby, mmm
In the middle of the night in my dreams
I know I'm gonna be with you
So I take my time
Are you ready for it?
Ooh, are you ready for it?
Baby, let the games begin
Let the games begin
Let the games begin
Baby, let the games begin
Let the games begin
Let the games begin
I-I-I see how this is gon' go
Touch me and you'll never be alone
I-Island breeze and lights down low
No one has to know
In the middle of the night, in my dreams (my dreams)
You should see the things we do, baby, mmm
In the middle of the night, in my dreams (my dreams)
I know I'm gonna be with you
So I take my time
In the middle of the night
Baby, let the games begin
Let the games begin
Let the games begin
Are you ready for it?
Baby, let the games begin
Let the games begin
Let the games begin
Are you ready for it?
Wonder how many girls he had loved and left haunted
But if he's a ghost, then I can be a phantom
Holdin' him for ransom
Some, some boys are tryin' too hard
He don't try at all, though
Younger than my exes but he act like such a man, so
I see nothing better, I keep him forever
Like a vendetta-ta
Touch me and you'll never be alone
I-Island breeze and lights down low
No one has to know
You should see the things we do, baby, mmm
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
I know I'm gonna be with you
So I take my time
Are you ready for it?
Stealing hearts and running off and never saying sorry
But if I'm a thief, then he can join the heist
And we'll move to an island, and
And he can be my jailer, Burton to this Taylor

Baby, let the games begin
Let the games begin
Let the games begin
Are you ready for it?

This song reminds me how girls are subject to a social form of imprinting that they have to wait for the guy to make the move no matter what and you can't take that pleasure/territory from them because it's an ego issue and even asking if they're ready might be crossing that border. So some girls feel a bit lost in what to do and when, when a guy is not a friend yet. But your love interest might not always be a friend of a friend or a co-worker, but instead someone you have seen in a weird place and you can only go and talk to that person or write a message via social media because it might actually feel more private in that delicate moment. Clearly most girls are not judgemental at all and supportive as soon as they can be in that position, because it's so so hard to make a move. So it's about her being supportive.
The feeling on this is certainly more poppy and upbeat than look what you made me do. I wonder if "the games" is another branch to this seemingly vengeful attitude she has taken with lwymmd, or if it's just supposed to be a fun thing.
I certainly hope the latter. I love the emotion Taylor puts into her songs, but I'd honestly rather hear about heartbreak than I would petty fights.
