Ready Or Not
A1 · Here We Come
Like me tonight
Come on baby won't you take a bite
Could you love a boy like me tonight
Oh yeah!)
(Ben:)
There's magic within you
There's magic in everything you do
Magic me to the place where dreams come true
(Chris:)
Sometimes I go crazy
I get off on the crazy things we do
I'm jealous of every guy that looks at you
(All:)
So tell me
Could you love a boy like me like me
Tell me could you love a boy like me
Cuz I need you
You're my heart and soul
And I'm gonna let you know
(Mark:) I'll never let you go
(All:)
Ready or not, here I come
You can't hide from me, hide and seek
Run away now, or stay now
Cos I'll keep searching
I'll keep seaching for love
(Could you love a boy like me
tonight,
Come on baby won't you take a bite)
(Paul:)
The game that you're playing (the game that you're playing)
Why do you tease me like you do
You gotta let me down
Or see it through
(Mark:)
You're straight from a movie (straight from a movie)
But baby I'm not from Hollywood
By stealing your heart I'll be your Robin Hood
(All:)
So tell me
Could you love a boy like me like me
Tell me could you love a boy like me
Because I need you
You're my heart and soul
And I'm gonna let you know
(Mark:) Ain't gonna let you go

Ready or not, here I come,
You can't hide from me, hide and seek.
Run away now, or stay now.

I'll keep seaching, baby
Ready or not, here I come
You can't hide from me, hide and seek
Run away now, or stay now
Cos I'll keep searching
I'll keep seaching for love-- baby
You can't hide, the love inside
Love-- baby
You can't hide, the love inside...
(Mark:)
