[Verse 1]
I'm used to opening my own doors and splitting the checks
He introduced me, was always just the friend
I bought a new dress, he never noticed
Always falling for these bad boys, such a challenge
I'm getting tired, of cleaning up after them
I think I'm ready to be a woman
[Chorus]
Oh, love, I think I'm ready, ready for it
[Verse 2]
You were such a surprise
An unexpected gift
Said I was pretty, and I believed it
Not really used to all this attention
Told myself I don't deserve you
And this is just a phase
Could I get used to, being loved the right way?
I want to argue, but there is nothing to say
[Chorus]
Oh, love, I think I'm ready, ready for it
(Ready for it)
Oh, love, I think I'm ready
[Verse 3]
'Cause you send me flowers when there's no occasion
Yeah, we talk for hours, you still want to listen
Won't hold it against me if I just need you to hold me tonight
My mother always told me that you'd show up one day
So scared to feel this way
[Chorus]
But, love, I think I'm ready, ready for it
(Ready for it)
Oh, love, I think I'm ready, ready for it
(Ready for it)
Oh, love, I think I'm ready
I'm used to opening my own doors and splitting the checks
He introduced me, was always just the friend
I bought a new dress, he never noticed
Always falling for these bad boys, such a challenge
I'm getting tired, of cleaning up after them
I think I'm ready to be a woman
[Chorus]
Oh, love, I think I'm ready, ready for it
[Verse 2]
You were such a surprise
An unexpected gift
Said I was pretty, and I believed it
Not really used to all this attention
Told myself I don't deserve you
And this is just a phase

I want to argue, but there is nothing to say

Oh, love, I think I'm ready, ready for it
(Ready for it)
Oh, love, I think I'm ready

(Ready for it)
Oh, love, I think I'm ready, ready for it
(Ready for it)
Oh, love, I think I'm ready
