Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Maybe I was trying to forget
All my crazy reactions over my ex
Maybe you played
Oh, way too hard to get
So I kept it moving
To another one-night stand, baby
[Verse 2]
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 (That's what I'm gonna do)
[Verse 3]
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 4]
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 numb to know it
Telling your pretty lies, babe
[Verse 5]
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 (That's what I'm gonna do)
[Verse 6]
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 7]
Keep thinking about you
Thinking you almost slipped through
There won't be another day
I'll let you get away
I'll keep calling 'til your guard comes down
'Cause I wanna keep you around
'Cause we started something good
But just know that before you
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
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, baby)
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 11]
I wasn't ready, baby
I wasn't ready for you, baby
I wasn't ready
(I wasn't ready for you)
I wasn't ready, baby
I wasn't ready for you, baby
I wasn't ready
(I wasn't ready for you)
[Verse 12]
I wasn't ready
I wasn't ready, babe
I wasn't ready
(I wasn't ready for you)
I wasn't ready
