[Verse 1: Eddie Kendricks & The Temptations]
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
[Pre-Chorus: Eddie Kendricks]
So, fee-fi-fo-fum
Look out, baby, 'cause here I come
[Chorus: Eddie Kendricks & The Temptations]
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: Eddie Kendricks & The Temptations]
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
[Pre-Chorus: Eddie Kendricks]
So, fiddley-dee, fiddley-dum
Look out, baby, 'cause here I come
[Chorus: Eddie Kendricks & The Temptations]
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)
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 3: Eddie Kendricks & The Temptations]
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
[Pre-Chorus: Eddie Kendricks]
So tweedley-dee, tweedley-dum
Look out, baby, 'cause here I come
[Chorus: Eddie Kendricks & The Temptations]
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)
(Get ready)
I never met a girl who makes me feel the way that you do
