Oh... Oh...

Oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh

Oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh

[Verse 1]

You've got these little things that you've been running from

You either love it or I guess you don't

You're such a pretty thing to be running from anyone

A vision with nowhere to go

So tell me right now, ya think you're ready for it?

I wanna know why you got me going

So let's go! We'll take it outta here

I think I'm ready to leap, I'm ready to live

[Chorus]

I'm ready to go

Get me out of my mind, get me out of my mind

I'm ready to go

Oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh

[Verse 2]

You've got these little things; you wanted something for 'em

You'll either get it or I guess you won't

What does it really mean to get nothing from anyone?

There's a million ways it could go

So tell me right now, ya think you're ready for it?

I wanna know why you got me going

So let's go! We'll take it outta here

I think I'm ready to leap, I'm ready to live

[Chorus]

I'm ready to go

Get me out of my mind, get me out of my mind

I'm ready to go

Oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh

[Bridge]

I think I'm ready, I think

I know I'm ready, I know

I think I'm ready, I think

I know I'm ready, I know

I think I'm ready, I think

I know I'm ready, I know

I think I'm ready, I think

I know

[Chorus]

I'm ready to go

Get me out of my mind, get me out of my mind

I'm ready to go

Oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh

I'm ready to go

(I think I'm ready, I think; I know I'm ready, I know)

Get me out of my mind, get me out of my mind

I'm ready to go

(I think I'm ready, I think; I know I'm ready, I know)

Oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh

I'm ready to go

(I think I'm ready, I think; I know I'm ready, I know)

Get me out of my mind, get me out of my mind

I'm ready to go

(I think I'm ready, I think; I know I'm ready, I know)

Oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh, oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh
