Yes I'm Ready
Barbara Mason · Yes I'm Ready [1994]
Are you ready? Yes I'm ready
I don't even know how
to love you
Just the way you want me to
but I'm ready, ready to learn
Yes I'm ready, ready to learn
to fall in love
to fall in love
to fall in love
with you
I don't even know how
to hold your hand
just to make you understand
but I'm ready,
ready to learn
yes, I'm ready, ready to learn
to hold your hand
and make you understand
to hold your hand
right now
I don't even know how
to kiss your lips ( kiss your lips)
at a moment like this
but I'm going to learn
how to do
all the things
you want me to
Are you ready? Yes, I'm ready
Are you ready? Yes, I'm ready
to fall in love,
to fall in love,
to fall in love,
right now
Are you ready? Yes I'm ready
Are you ready? Yes I'm ready
to kiss me? Yes I'm ready
to love me? To kiss you, to love you, to hug you
baby I'm ready
