Lyrics
“Am I Ready”
(from “Spinout” soundtrack)
Am I ready, to fall in love with you
One love, one girl,one dream shared by two
Am I ready, to fall in love with you
I have touched your lips,and now I know
I would be a fool, to let you go
Should I, could I, how I wish I knew
Am I ready, to fall in love with you
Should I, could I, how I wish I knew
Am I ready, to fall in love with you
Fall in love…with..you…
