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)If you wanna play hide and seek with love,
