That makes me feel
The way that you do
(it's alright)
Whenever I'm asked
It makes me ugly as hell
To say that you do
(Its outta sight)
Look out baby, cause here I come.
I'm giving you a love that's true
So get ready, get ready
Gonna try to make you love me too
So get ready, get ready, 'cause here I come
(Get ready, 'cause here I come)
I'm on my way
(Get ready, 'cause here I come)
If you wanna play hide and seek with love
Baby I do
(it's alright)
The lovin' you're gonna miss,
In the time it takes to find you
(it's outta sight)
So fiddley dee, fiddley dum
Look out baby, cause here I come.
I'm giving you a love that's true
So get ready, get ready
Gonna try to make you love me too
So get ready, get ready, 'cause here I come
(Get ready, 'cause here I come)
I'm on my way
(Get ready, 'cause here I come)
So what are my friends supposed to do
Understand it
(It's alright)
As long as I get to you before they do
The way I planned it
(It's outta sight)
So fiddley dee, fiddley dum
Look out baby, 'cause here I come
I'm giving you a love that's true
So get ready, get ready
I'm gonna try to make her love me too
So get ready, get ready, 'cause here I come
Get ready, 'cause here I come
Get ready, 'cause here I come
Get ready, 'cause here I come
Get ready, 'cause here I come
