Are you ready

You're feeling good, you're feeling right
Across the floor, and I'm already losing my mind
Baby girl, looking fine
Watch you playing and playing and playing these guys
Catch my stare, little smile
Tell me that you're ready and you're feeling the vibe
Someday I'll be so damn sublime,
We'll arrive behind a hash-tag sign

I won't forget you, but I may
Forget your name

My lady
I know what you're thinking
When the bass starts ringing
Can you tell me when you're stoked to start?
Are you ready for tonight,
Set this shit on fire
And we'll dance until we're dumb in the dark

My lady
I know what you're thinking
When the bass starts ringing
Can you tell me when you're stoked to start?
Are you ready for tonight,
Set this shit on fire
And we'll dance until we're dumb in the dark
Are you ready?
I'm ready

Break me down, dirty jokes
Watch me dear, and say what you wanna know
Beauty lies, within the eyes
Of the beholder, I'll be holding you close all night

I won't forget you, but I may
Forget your name

My lady
I know what you're thinking
When the bass starts ringing
Can you tell me when you're stoked to start?
Are you ready for tonight,
Set this shit on fire
And we'll dance until we're dumb in the dark

My lady
I know what you're thinking
When the bass starts ringing
Can you tell me when you're stoked to start?
Are you ready for tonight,
Set this shit on fire
And we'll dance until we're dumb in the dark
Are you ready?
I'm ready

Break me down, I'm ready, break me down
Break me down, I'm ready, break me down
Break me down, I'm ready, break me down
Break me down, I'm ready, break me down
I won't forget you, but I may
Forget your name

I'm ready

Break me down, I'm ready, break me down
Break me down, I'm ready, break me down

Are you ready?
