[Verse 1]
They ask me out and then I ghost
But I'm so done being alone
Talk for a week just cause I’m bored
When will I feel good?
[Pre-Chorus]
My friends always tell me to go out and try
They say "nine months is enough"
Well shut up, I'll do it in my own time
I'll do it in my own time
Cause I know
[Chorus]
When I’m ready
Gonna be just fine
Getting hella cute on a Tuesday night
When I'm ready
Find a random guy
Texting all my friends from the bathroom like
When I'm ready
I won't be so sad
Curled up in a ball cause I want you back
When I'm ready
I'll be ready
[Verse 2]
I felt a stranger touch my hand
Packed tight watching some random band
I didn't ask him out that night
But a chill went down my spine
And it felt so good
[Pre-Chorus]
My friends always tell me to go out and try
They say "nine months is enough"
Well shut up, I'll do it in my own time
I’ll do it in my own time
Cause I know
[Chorus]
When I’m ready
Gonna be just fine
Getting hella cute on a Tuesday night
When I'm ready
Find a random guy
Texting all my friends from the bathroom like
When I’m ready
I won't be so sad
Curled up in a ball cause I want you back
When I'm ready
I'll be ready
[Bridge]
My friends always tell me to go out and try
They say "nine months is enough"
Well shut up, I’ll do it in my own time
I'll do it in my own time
Cause I know
[Hook]
When I'm ready
Meet someone I like
I don't even care if they're not my type
When I'm ready
Gonna spend the night
Take him to my house, show him I'm alright
When I'm ready
I won't be so sad
Cause I don't even want you back
When I'm ready
I'll be ready
[Chorus]
When I'm ready
Gonna be just fine
Getting hella cute on a Tuesday night
When I'm ready
Find a random guy
Texting all my friends from the bathroom like
When I'm ready
I won't be so sad
Curled up in a ball cause I want you back
When I'm ready
I'll be ready
[Outro]
When I'm ready
When I'm ready
When I'm ready
When I'm ready
Think I'm ready
