Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(it's alright)
Whenever I'm asked who makes my dreams real
I say that you do
(you're outta sight)
So fee fi fo fum
Look out baby 'cause here I come
So get ready
I'm gonna try to make love to you so get ready
So get ready here I come
I'm on my way
If you wanna play hide and seek with love let me remind you
(it's alright)
The loving you're gonna miss and the time it takes to find you

So fiddle-lee-dee fiddle-lee-dum
Look out baby 'cause here I come
And I'm bringing you a love that's true so get ready
So get ready
I'm gonna try to make love to you so get ready
So get ready here I come

All my friends shouldn't want me to I understand it

I hope I'll get to you before they do the way I planned it

Get ready 'cause here I come, boy

The lyrics to Booker T & the MG’s song Get Ready talk about a man who has found a girl who makes him feel like no other before her. He mentions that she is the one who makes his dreams come true and he sings about his intentions of trying to make love to her. The lyrics are filled with metaphors and playful lines and the overall feeling of the song is of joy and happiness.
The first line of the song, "I never met a girl who makes me feel the way that you do," sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics. The man has found someone special who he cannot forget, and he is ready to pursue her. He sings about his intentions to make love to her, but he also reminds her that if she keeps playing "hide and seek with love," she might miss the opportunity.
The chorus of the song is a repetition of "So get ready, here I come, I'm on my way." This line gives the feeling that the man is determined to win the girl's heart and that he will not stop until he does. The lyrics are fun and playful, but they also convey a sense of purpose.
