Get Ready
FM Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never met a girl who makes me feel the way that you do
(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
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
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
(it's outta sight)
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
I'm on my way

All my friends shouldn't want me to I understand it
(be alright)
I hope I'll get to you before they do the way I planned it
(be outta sight)
So twiddle-dee-dee twiddle dee 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.
I'm on my way.
Get ready 'cause here I come, boy




Get ready 'cause here I come, boy
Get ready 'cause here I come, boy

I used to be the one
I used to be your getaway dreamer
I couldn't get enough
Thinking that we would last forever
Don't know what you're thinking of
Slipping further out of reach
To the edge of town we could go
Away from all the world to see
You were wild trying to set yourself free
I didn't see the signs right in front of me
Oh, I'm running in the night so soon
I've got nothing left to lose
I'm leaving it all behind
Running in the night with you
I won't let you get away again
We can see it through to the end
But whatever we do
I'm running in the night with you
I used to be the one
I used to be your place to land
Under the shadows
Into the palm of my hand
You're always changing the situation
Just when we found paradise
You're always shutting down my conversation
I can never read your mind
Oh, I'm running in the night so soon
I've got nothing left to lose
I'm leaving it all behind
Running in the night with you
I won't let you get away again
We can see it through to the end
But whatever we do
I'm running in the night with you
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
(Running with the night)
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
(I'm Running with the night)
I used to be the one
I used to be your getaway dreamer
I couldn't get enough
Thinking that we would last forever
Oh, I'm running in the night so soon
I've got nothing left to lose
I'm leaving it all behind
Running in the night with you
I won't let you get away again
We can see it through to the end
But what ever we do
I'm running in the night with you
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
(Running with the night)
Oh, I'm running in the night so soon
I've got nothing left to lose
I'm leaving it all behind
Running in the night with you

I remember this kind of music. From a time when boys and girls didn't have to be 'plugged in' 24/7 in order to be cool, or 'relevant' or 'influencing'. When a bright summer's day at the cabin and a glimpse of a cute neighbor led to all kinds of innocent (and may be not so innocent) adventures.

Music from a time we could live our lives the way we wanted, without worrying about what our 'subscribers' and thousands of Facebook/Instagram/TilTok 'friends' thought about it.

Music from when we could really live for ourselves and be free. Truly free. It was dangerous. It was unpredictable. It was thrilling.

Couldn't Share it. Couldn't Download it. Couldn't Like or Dislike it. You could only Live It. In the moment.

I remember a time, when we were all Running in the Night.
