Paradise By The Dashboard Light lyrics

Well, I remember every little thing as if it happened only yesterday

Parking by the lake and there was not another car in sight

And I never had a girl looking any better than you did

And all the kids at school, they were wishing they were me that night

And now our bodies are, oh, so close and tight

It never felt so good, it never felt so right

And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife

Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife

C'mon, hold on tight

Oh, c'mon, hold on tight

Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night

I can see paradise by the dashboard light

Ain't no doubt about it we were doubly blessed

'Cause we were barely seventeen and we were barely dressed

Ain't no doubt about it, baby, got to go and shout it

Ain't no doubt about it, we were doubly blessed

'Cause we were barely seventeen and we were barely dressed

Baby, dont'cha hear my heart you got it drowning out the radio

I've been waiting so long for you to come along and have some fun

Well, I gotta let you know no you're never gonna regret it

So open up your eyes, I got a big surprise, It'll feel all right

Well, I wanna make your motor run

And now our bodies are, oh, so close and tight

It never felt so good, it never felt so right

And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife

Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife

C'mon, hold on tight

Oh, c'mon, hold on tight

Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night

I can see paradise by the dashboard light

Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night

I can see paradise by the dashboard light

You got to do what you can and let mother nature do the rest

Ain't no doubt about it we were doubly blessed

'Cause we were barely seventeen and we were barely

We're gonna go all the way tonight

We're gonna go all the way

And tonight's the night

We're gonna go all the way tonight

We're gonna go all the way

And tonight's the night

We're gonna go all the way tonight

We're gonna go all the way

And tonight's the night

We're gonna go all the way tonight

We're gonna go all the way

And tonight's the night

Okay, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker going here

Two down, nobody on, no score, bottom of the ninth

There's the windup, and there it is, a line shot up the middle

Look at him go, this boy can really fly, he's rounding first and really

Turning it on now, he's not letting up at all, he's gonna try for

Second, the ball is bobbled out in center, and here comes the

Throw, and what a throw! He's gonna slide in head first, here he

Comes, he's out! No, wait, safe, safe at second base, this kid

Really makes things happen out there, batter steps up to the

Plate, here's the pitch, he's going, and what a jump he's got!

He's trying for third, here's the throw, it's in the dirt-safe at

Third! Holy cow, stolen base! He's taking a pretty big lead out

There, almost daring him to try and pick him off, the pitcher

Glances over, winds up, and it's bunted, bunted down the third

Base line, the suicide squeeze is on, here he comes, squeeze

Play, it's gonna be close, holy cow, I think he's gonna make it

Stop right there! I gotta know right now

Before we go any further do you love me?

Will you love me forever? Do you need me?

Will you never leave me?

Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?

Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?

Do you love me? Will you love me forever?

Do you need me? Will you never leave me?

Will you make me happy for the rest of my life?

Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?

I gotta know right now before we go any further

Do you love me? Will you love me forever?

Let me sleep on it, baby, baby, let me sleep on it

Let me sleep on it and I'll give you an answer in the morning

Let me sleep on it, baby, baby, let me sleep on it

Let me sleep on it and I'll give you an answer in the morning

Let me sleep on it, baby, baby, let me sleep on it

Let me sleep on it and I'll give you an answer in the morning

I gotta know right now, do you love me?

Will you love me forever? Do you need me?

Will you never leave me?

Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?

Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?

I gotta know right now before we go any further

Do you love me? And will you love me forever?

What's it gonna be, boy? Come on

I can wait all night

What's it gonna be, boy? Yes or no

What's it gonna be, boy? Yes or no

Let me sleep on it, baby, baby, let me sleep on it

Well, let me sleep on it, I'll give you an answer in the morning

I gotta know right now, do you love me?

Will you love me forever? Do you need me?

Will you never leave me?

Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?

Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?

I gotta know right now before we go any further

Do you love me? Will you love me forever?

Let me sleep on it

Will you love me forever?

Let me sleep on it

Will you love me forever?

Praying for the end of time, Lord, I was crazed

And when the feeling came upon me like a tidal wave

I started swearing to my God and on my mother's grave

That I would love you to the end of time

I swore that I would love you to the end of time

So now I'm praying for the end of time

To hurry up and arrive

'Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you

I don't think that I can really survive

I'll never break my promise or forget my vow

But God only knows what I can do right now

I'm praying for the end of time, It's all that I can do

Praying for the end of time so I can end my time with you

It was long ago and it was far away

And it was so much better that it is today

When it was long ago and it was far away

And it was so much better that it is today

It was long ago and it was far away

And it was so much better that it is today

When it was long ago and it was far away

And it was so much better that it is today

It was long ago and it was far away

And it was so much better that it is today

When it was long ago and it was far away

And it was so much better that it is today

It was long ago and it was far away
