"I Think I'm Ready" is a song written by Katy Perry and Ted Bruner. It serves as an iTunes bonus track from One of the Boys. Later on it was included on the Hello Katy Tour EP as well as the Platinum Australian Tour edition of One of the Boys. During the live performance of the song, Perry says the song is about young love.
I'm used to opening my own doors and splitting the checks
He introduced me, was always just a friend
I bought a new dress, he never noticed
Always falling for these bad boys, such a challenge
I'm getting tired, of cleaning up after them
I think I'm ready to be a woman
Oh love, I think I'm ready
Ready for it
You were such a surprise
An unexpected gift
Said I was pretty, and I believed it
Not really used to all this attention
Told myself I don't deserve you
And this is just a phase
Could I get used to, being loved the right way?
I wanna argue, but there is nothing to say
Oh love, I think I'm ready
Ready for it
Ready for it
Oh love, I think I'm ready
'Cause you send me flowers, when there's no occasion
Yeah we talk for hours, you still wanna listen
Won't hold it against me if I just need you to hold me tonight
My mother always told me that you'd show up one day
So scared to feel this way but love, I think I'm ready
Ready for it
Ready for it
Oh love, I think I'm ready
Ready for it
Ready for it
Oh love, I think I'm ready
Trivia
The song was originally going to be performed as the finale during Perry's performance at MTV Unplugged, but she opted to perform "Brick by Brick" instead.
