Baywatch Lyrics

Baywatch Theme Song Lyrics



Some people stand in the darkness
Afraid to step into the light
Some people need to help somebody
When the edge of surrender's in sight

Don't you worry
It's gonna be okey
Cause I'm always ready
I won't let you out of my sight.

I'll be ready
I'll be ready
Never you fear
No don't you fear
I'll be ready
Forever and always
I'm always here.

In us we all have the power
But sometimes it's so hard to see
And instinct is stronger than reason
It's just human nature to me

Don't you worry
Its gonna be alright
Cause I'm always ready
I won't let you out of my sight.

I'll be ready
I'll be ready
Never you fear
No don’t you fear
I'll be ready
Forever and always
I'm always here.

(Instrumental)

Cause I'm always ready
I won't let you out of my sight

I'll be ready
I'll be ready
Never you fear
No don't you fear
I'll be ready
Forever and always
I'm always here.

Forever and always
I'm always here.

Buy A Vespa

In these recessionary times a good form of transport is essential.

I used to have one of these, a VESPA PX 200

It had a 200cc 2-stroke engine, and costs around 6 to 7 euro to fill.

The only pain was you had to mix the engine oil yourself, it was a 2 percent mix, similar to a lawnmower or chainsaw

You can park anywhere, as long as you have a good solid lock, and the top speed is 60-65MPH!

Itt makes the VESPA the ideal solution for you commuting needs!!!
