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
(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

He declares that she is the one who makes his dreams come true and that he will do anything to make her his. The lyrics are filled with metaphors and playful rhymes that add to the fun and upbeat vibe of the song.

He then proceeds to answer the question, "who makes my dreams real," by naming the girl he is interested in. The lyric "you're outta sight" is used as a compliment to the girl he is singing about, meaning that she is amazing. The chorus repeats the line "so get ready" multiple times, which implies that he is ready to commit to her and be with her.

The second verse starts with a message to the girl that if she wants to "play hide and seek with love," she should remember that the love she may miss out on and the time it takes to find someone else may not be worth it. The lyric "it's alright" is used to reassure the girl that he understands her apprehension. The chorus is repeated once again, emphasizing his commitment to winning her over.

Incredible, he hasn't lost any of his beautiful voice!
@muffs55mercury61
Of the 1970 lineup I believe Pete is one of just two survivors left. Just hearing him talk now the old voice is still there 52 years later unchanged. A legend!!
@marcthomas2153
Kenny james, rod richards is still alive as well as mike usro and ray monette
@muffs55mercury61

Love hearing Peter belt this out like it was still 1970 ! Rivera definitely still has the chops !
@ArcaneWeasel
What a powerhouse and pleasing vocalist. Drums are top shelf too. Sounds so good even after all these years. Wow, just blown away. Never better music than late 60’s early 70’s.
