I never met a girl could make me feel the way that you do
(You're all right)
Whenever I'm asked what makes a my dreams real
I tell 'em you do
(You're outta sight)
Well tweedle dee, tweedle dum
Look out baby now here I come

I'm bringin' you a love that's true yeah, get ready (get ready, get ready)
I'll stop makin' love to you, get ready (get ready, get ready)

Get ready, 'cause here I come (I said I'm on my way)
Get ready, 'cause here I come

If you wanna play hide and seek with love, let me remind ya
(You're all right)
The lovin' you're gonna miss, and the time it takes to find ya
(You're outta sight)
Well tweedle dee, tweedle dum
