Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I never met a girl who makes me feel the way that you do

You're alright

Whenever I'm asked who makes my dreams real, I say that you do

You're outta sight

[PreChorus]

So, fee-fi-fo-fum

Look out, baby, 'cause here I come

[Chorus]

And I'm bringing you a love that's true

So get ready, so get ready

I'm gonna try to make you love me too

So get ready, so get ready 'cause here I come (Get ready 'cause here I come)

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

[Verse 2]

If you wanna play hide and seek with love, let me remind you

It's alright

But the lovin' you're gonna miss in the time it takes to find you

It's outta sight

[PreChorus]

So, fiddley-dee, fiddley-dum

Look out, baby, 'cause here I come

[Chorus]

And I'm bringing you a love that's true

So get ready, so get ready

I'm gonna try to make you love me too

So get ready, so get ready 'cause here I come (Get ready 'cause here I come)

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

Get ready

[Verse 3]

If all my friends should want you too, I'll understand it

Be alright

I hope I get to you before they do, the way I planned it

Be outta sight

[PreChorus]

So tweedley-dee, tweedley-dum

Look out, baby, 'cause here I come

[Chorus]

And I'm bringing you a love that's true

So get ready, so get ready

I'm gonna try to make you love me too

So get ready, so get ready 'cause here I come (Get ready 'cause here I come)

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

Get ready 'cause here I come
