The Temptations - Get Ready
The Temptations - Get Ready
[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)

Released: February 7, 1966
Lead Vocals: Eddie Kendricks
Background Vocals: David Ruffin, Melvin Franklin, Otis Williams & Paul Williams (Temptations)
Written and produced by: Smokey Robinson
Original: https://youtu.be/FQUPcM1niSc
The original Temptations version of "Get Ready", produced by Smokey Robinson, was designed as an answer to the latest dance craze, "The Duck". The Temptations' falsetto Eddie Kendricks sings lead on the song, which Robinson produced as an up-tempo dance number with a prominent rhythm provided by Motown drummer Benny Benjamin. The song made it to No. 1 on the U.S. R&B singles chart, while peaking at No. 29 on the pop charts.
"Get Ready" is a Motown song written by Smokey Robinson, which resulted in two hit records for the label: a U.S. No. 29 version by The Temptations in 1966, and a U.S. No. 4 version by Rare Earth in 1970. It is significant for being the last song Robinson wrote and produced for the Temptations, due to a deal Berry Gordy made with Norman Whitfield, that if "Get Ready" did not meet with the expected degree of success, then Whitfield's song, "Ain't Too Proud to Beg", would get the next release, which resulted in Whitfield more or less replacing Robinson as the group's producer.
