Paradise By The Dashboard Light
[Boy:]
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 were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
Cmon, hold on tight
Cmon, hold on tight
Though its cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
[Girl:]
Aint no doubt about it we were doubly blessed
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed
[Both:]
Aint no doubt about it
Baby got to go out and shout it
Aint no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
[Boy:]
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed
Baby doncha hear my heart
You got it drowing out the radio
Ive been waiting so long
For you to come along and have some fun
And I gotta let you know
No youre never gonna regret it
So open up your eyes, I got a big surprise
Itll feel all right
Well I wanna make you motor run
And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
Cmon, Hold on tight
Cmon, Hold on tight
[Both:]
Though its cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
Paradise by the dashboard light
You got to do what you can
And let Mother Nature do the rest
Aint no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely
Were gonna go all the way tonight
Were gonna go all the way
And tonights the night
[Radio Broadcast:]
OK, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker going here
Two down, nobody on, no score, bottom of the ninth
Theres the wind-up, and there it is
A line shot up the middle, look at him go
This boy can really fly
Hes rounding first and really turning it on now
Hes not letting up at all, hes gonna try for second
The ball is bobbled out in the center
And heres the throw and what a throw
Hes gonna slide in head first
Here he comes, hes out
No, wait, safe, safe at second base
This kid really makes things happen out there
Batter steps up to the plate
Heres the pitch, hes going
Amd what a jump hes got
Hes trying for third
Heres the throw
Its in the dirt, safe a third
Holw cow, stolen base
Hes taking a pretty big lead out there
Almost daring them to pick him off
The pitcher glances over, winds-up and its bunted
Bunted down the third base line
The suicide squeeze is on
Here he comes, squeeze play, its gonna be close
Heres the throw, heres the play at the plate
Holy cow, I think hes gonna make it
[Girl:]
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 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
[Boy:]
Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
And Ill 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 Ill 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 Ill give you an answer in the morning
[Girl:]

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

Before we go any further
Do you love me

[Girl:]

[Boy:]

[Boy:]
I couldnt take it any longer
Lord I was crazed
And when the feeling came upon me
Like a tidal wave
I started swearing to my god
And on my mothers grave
That I would love you to the end of time
I swore I would love you to the end of time
So now Im praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I dont think that I can really survive
Ill never break my promise or forget my vow
But God only knows what I can do right now
Im praying for the end of time
So I can end my time with you
[Boy:]
It was long ago and it was far away,
And it was so much better than it is today.
[Girl:]
It never felt so good, It never felt so right
And we were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife.
