Ready or not, here I come
Gee, that used to be such fun
Apple, peaches, pumpkin pie
"Who's not ready?" Holler, I
That's a game we used to play, girl
Hide and seek was its name
Oh, oh, ready or not, here I come
Gee, that used to be such fun
I always used to find your hiding place
Times have changed
Well, I'm one step behind you
But still I can't find you
Apple, peaches, pumpkin pie
You were young and so was I
Now that we've grown up, it seems
You just keep ignoring me, oh, whoa
I'll find you anywhere you go
I'm gonna look high and low
You can't escape this love of mine anytime
Well, I'll sneak up behind you
Be careful where I find you
Apple, peaches, pumpkin pie
Soon your love will be all mine
Then I'm gonna take you home
Marry you so you won't roam, baby
Marry you so you won't roam, right now, now, now, honey
I'll find you anywhere you go
I'm gonna look high and low
You can't escape this love of mine anytime
Well, I'll sneak up behind you
Be careful where I find you
Ready or not (yeah, yeah, yeah), here I come (here I come)
Gee, that used to be such fun (be careful, baby)
(It used to such fun right now, na, na, na)
Ready or not, here I come (here I come)
Gee, that used to be such fun (just to find you)
Ready or not, here I come (there you go)
