Sometimes I wonder how it's gonna feel

Will my first love be true and real?

Will I be ready when my heart starts to fall?

What will I do when my love comes to call?

And my daddy tells me that I light up his world

Every day he says, "Darling, you're my best girl."

He tried to teach me from the very start

The meaning of love so nobody breaks my heart

Will my love come in a bowl of fire?

Will it be filled with hope and desire?

Will my love come in a pouring rain?

Am I ready for the joy, am I ready for the pain?

Am I ready for the boy, am I ready for love?

I know I'm not a little girl anymore

'Cause I'm feeling things I've never felt before

Sweet sensations and anticipations

Calling commotion to my emotions

And I hear the words my daddy said to me

He said, "Be true to yourself and keep your spirit free

And love will find you one way or another

Be good to yourself and be good to each other."

Will my love come in a bowl of fire?

Will it be filled with hope and desire?

Will my love come in a pouring rain?

Am I ready for the joy, am I ready for the pain?

Am I ready for the boy, am I ready for love?

It's a run around the world

And it's moving so fast

Though I wanna find

A love that's gonna last

A love so strong

That it can withstand

The weight of this world

In the palm of its hand

Will my love come in a bowl of fire?

Will it be filled with hope and desire?

Will my love come in a pouring rain?

Am I ready for the joy, am I ready for the pain?

Am I ready for the boy, am I ready for this game?

Am I ready for the kiss, am I ready for the stars?

Am I ready for the bliss, am I ready for love?
