Are You Ready for This Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If I said I'd been lyin'
I found a new love
Would you start cryin'?
If I told you
You weren't the only one
To share my kiss

[Chorus]
Could you take it? (Could you take it?)
Would you make it? (Would you make it?)
Are you ready for this? (Are you ready for this?)
(Are you ready for this?)

[Verse 2]
Would you want to know
If I had a new lover?
Or would it be best
To keep it under cover?
What if I told you
I was leavin'

[Chorus]
And your lovin' I'd miss?
Would you make it? (Would you make it?)
Could you take it? (Could you take it?)
Are your ready for this? (Are you ready for this?)
(Are you ready for this?)
[Bridge]
If I walked out the door
Are you ready for the afterwards? (Afterwards)
If I said, "So long"
Would you carry on
The strength to unfold
What the future holds? (Are you ready for this?)
(Are you ready for this?)

[Verse 3]
Well, you ought to know
I'm not lyin'
I don't have a new love
So don't start cryin'
And you are the only one
You are the only one
To share my kiss

[Chorus]
I was teasin' (I was teasin')
I'm not leavin' (I'm not leavin")
Are you ready for this? (Are you ready for this?)

[Outro]
Are you ready for this? (Are you ready for this?)
Baby, are you ready for this? (Are you ready for this?)
Yeah, are your ready for this? (Are you ready for this?)
Oh, are you ready for this? (Are you ready for this?)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
