Get Ready Lyrics

[Instrumental intro 0:00 - 2:42]

[Verse 1]
Never met a girl could make me feel
The way that you do, you're alright
Whenever I'm asked what makes my dreams real
I tell 'em you do, you're outta' sight

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, twiddley dee, twiddley dum
Look out, baby, 'cause here I come

[Chorus]
I'm bringing you a love that's true (get ready)
Get ready, (get ready)

I'll start makin' love to you (get ready)
Get ready, (get ready)

Oh, don't you know I'm comin'? (Get ready, 'cause here I come)
On my way (Get ready, 'cause here I come)

[Verse 2]
You wanna' play hide and seek with love
Let me remind you, you're alright
Lovin' you're gonna' miss
And the time it takes to find you, you're outta' sight
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, fee fi, fo fo fum
Look out, baby, now here I come

[Chorus]
I'm bringing you a love that's true (get ready)
Get ready, (get ready)
Start makin' love to you (get ready)
Get ready, (get ready)
Oh, don't you know I'm comin'? (Get ready, 'cause here I come)
On my way, yeah (Get ready, 'cause here I come)

[Verse 3]
Well, if all of my friends should want you too
I think I'll understand, you're alright

Hope I get to you before they do
'Cause that's how I planned it, you're outta' sight


[Pre-Chorus]
Well, twiddley dee, now, twiddley dum
Look out, baby, now, here I come

[Chorus]
I'm bringing you a love that's true (get ready)
Get ready, (get ready)
Start makin' love to you (get ready)
Get ready, (get ready)
Oh, don't you know I'm comin'? (Get ready, 'cause here I come)
On my way, yeah (Get ready, 'cause here I come)
Mmhmmhmm
[Instrumental break 5:04 - 20:53]

[Outro]
Get ready, 'cause here I come
Get ready, 'cause here I come (get ready)
Get ready, 'cause here I come (get ready)
Get ready, 'cause here I come

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
