(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
The song "Get Ready" by Southsyde B.O.I.Z. is a cover of The Temptations' well-known Motown hit. The song's lyrics are about a man who has never met a woman who makes him feel the way the woman he is singing about does. He tells her to prepare herself because he is coming to make love to her. The lyrics show the man's determination to win the woman over and be with her, even if it means playing "hide and seek with love." He is focused on getting to her before any of his friends can, hoping to follow through on his plan of being with her.
The lyrics suggest that the singer is confident in his ability to provide the woman with love that is true, and he promises to try to make love to her. The repetition of the phrase "so get ready" implies his urgency and excitement to be with her, and the use of onomatopoeia throughout the song adds to the playful and flirtatious tone. The overall message of the song is one of passion and desire.
