  • 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 one night stand

    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)

    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

    Maybe I couldn't tell you why
    I didn't hide 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

    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)

    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

    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

    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

    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)
    I wasn't ready, I wasn't ready, no
    I wasn't ready
    (I wasn't ready for you)
    I wasn't ready Writer/s: Alana Mychal Haim, Ariel Zvi Rechtshaid, Danielle Sari Haim, Este Arielle Haim, George Lewis Jr.
