[Chorus: Chris Brown]
And, baby, we don't need a bed, no-woah
Don't need a master room, don't need to set the mood
She like, "Yeah, yeah-yeah"
One touch, one touch, she gon' give me all the love
She's ready, so ready
She ready, so I'm ready
I feel it comin' on strong, you're so heavy
And she ready, I'm ready
[Verse 1: Fabolous]
Yeah
I hear if you stay ready, you ain't gotta get ready
Call you when I get there, you just get your shit wetty
Oops, I mean your shit ready, can't believe I said that
Least you know where my head at, now, shawty, where your head at?
She gon' dive in head first, school me like the Board of Ed'
She do it then we do it, so she can say she thought ahead
Laid up in that all day, can't get out that waterbed
Talk nasty for your boy, silent treatment for the feds
No cup for the thirsties, she bad as controversy
Skin-tone like Hershey, body, Lord have mercy
Yeah, if this thing were a car, it'd be a Lamborghini Merci'
Maybe I'm too fast, girl, say-say
[Chorus: Chris Brown]
And, baby, we don't need a bed, no-woah
Don't need a master room, don't need to set the mood
She like, "Yeah, yeah-yeah"
One touch, one touch, she gon' give me all the love
She's ready, so ready
She ready, so I'm ready
I feel it comin' on strong, you're so heavy
And she ready, I'm ready
[Verse 2: Fabolous]
Talkin' 'bout you born ready (Woah), talkin' 'bout it's on deck (Woah)
Talk a good one on text, you say you 'bout it, I'm gon' check
I put some kisses on neck (Yeah), let me warm that engine up
Relax when the tension's up, girl, you just call your ninja up
And I pop up in that all black (All black) and kill that
See I'm dressed appropriate, you got to feel that
Feel that? (I feel that)
That's that love comin' down, for the brain, I'm dumbin' down (Yeah)
We on swole when she come around (Woo!)
Need ice to numb her down, night stick to beat it up
Rodney King that thing, girl, can't we all just get along?
You could get along, haha, you already know
But is you ready though? (Sing, sing)
[Chorus: Chris Brown]
And, baby, we don't need a bed, no-woah
Don't need a master room, don't need to set the mood
She like, "Yeah, yeah-yeah"
One touch, one touch, she gon' give me all the love
She's ready (She's ready), so ready (So ready)
She ready, so I'm ready (I'm ready)
I feel it comin' on strong, you're so heavy (So heavy)
[Bridge: Chris Brown, Fabolous]
Pick you up at one, be ready (Be ready)
Two times for my niggas, we ready (We so ready)
The pretty ladies in the V.I., they ready (And they so ready)
I'm feelin' good, feelin' good, I'm ready (Woo, ooh, I'm ready, yo)
The birthday girl in the back, she ready (She so ready, ready)
We don't know how to act, we ready (We ready, swear we're ready)
I can't wait to get home
If you're ready, come on
[Chorus: Chris Brown, Fabolous, Chris Brown & Fabolous]
And, baby, we don't need a bed, no-woah
Don't need a master room, don't need to set the mood
She like (Yeah! She like, "Yeah"), "Yeah, yeah-yeah" (She like, "Yeah")
One touch, one touch, she gon' give me all the love
She's ready (Woah! She ready), so ready (So ready)
She ready (She ready), so I'm ready (And I'm ready)
I feel it comin' on strong, you're so heavy (It's so heavy)
And she ready (She ready), I'm ready (I'm ready)

Fabolous:
We definitely are working on the video. We wanna go away for the video, we wanna take it somewhere else because I feel like the scenery in the States has been getting old, so I wanna go somewhere else and bring a new feeling, a new look to the video. I got some things in mind. We’ve got s...
Fabolous:
[‘Ready’] was the first single because it was a genuine great record, and I think that it’s a genuine Fab record. If you look at my history, of what I do, I think you can tie that into [songs like] ‘Make Me Better,’ ‘Throw It in the Bag,’ even ‘Can’t Let You Go,’ and if you wanna go way b...
Even the record that I just released. The joint with Chris Brown…I actually did that record a year and a half ago. Before we even released it. Chris…had the thing with Rihanna and all that so we gave that space just to clear. That was a touchy situation. We wanted to let everything he had to get out...
