Ready or not

Here I come

You can't hide

Gonna find you

You can't hide

Gonna love you

And make you love me

You can't run away

From this love I got, oh, baby

'Cause I got a lot, yeah

Anywhere you go

My poor heart got to know, oh, baby

Hey, baby

You can't hide from my love, oh, no

You can't hide

Gonna find you

And keep you happy

You can't hide

Gonna love you

And make you love me

My poor heart got to know, oh, baby

Hey, baby

You can't hide from my love, oh, no
