Paradise By The Dashboard Light

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

(You think you do, but you don't)

Parkin' by the lake and there was not another car in sight

(There's only one parking spot by the lake)

And I never had a girl lookin' any better than you did

(Well, that's true)

And all the kids at school, they were wishin' 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 glowin' like the metal on the edge of a knife

(Glowin' like the metal on the edge of the knife)

Come on, hold on tight

Well, come on, 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, don't you hear my heart? You got it drownin' out the radio

Well, I've been waitin' so long for you to come along and have some fun

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

So, open your eyes, I got a big surprise, it'll feel alright

And I wanna let 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 glowin' like the metal on the edge of a knife

Glowin' like the metal on the edge of a knife

(Come on, hold on tight)

Well, come on, 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

(Cold in the deep, dark night)

Paradise by the dashboard light

You gotta 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, tonight's the night

We're gonna go all the way tonight

We're gonna go all the way, tonight's the night

We're gonna go all the way tonight

We're gonna go all the way, tonight's the night

We're gonna go all the way tonight

We're gonna go all the way, tonight's the night

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?

Oh, 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?

Well, 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

Let me sleep on it

Baby, baby, let me sleep on it

Let me sleep on it

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

I'll give you an answer in the morning

(I gotta know right now)

Let me sleep on it (Do you love me?)

(Will you love me forever?)

Baby, baby, let me sleep on it

(Do you need me?)

(Will you never leave me?)

Let me sleep on it

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

I'll give you an answer in the morning, morning

(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?)

Well, boy, what's it gonna be?

Yes or no?

What's it gonna be, boy?

Yes or no?

Let me sleep on it (Will you love me forever?)

Let me sleep on it (Will you love me forever?)

I couldn't take it any longer, Lord, I was crazed

When the feeling came across me like tidal wave

Started swearin' to my god and on my mother's grave

I would love you till the end of time

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

So, now I'm prayin' for the end of time

To hurry up and arrive

'Cause if I have to 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 prayin' for the end of time, it's all that I can do

Prayin' for the end of time

So I can end my time with you

Well, it was long ago, and it was far away

So much better than it is today

Long ago and it was far away

(It never felt so good, it never felt so right)

So much better than it is today

(And we're glowin' like the metal on the edge of a knife)

Long ago and it was far away

(It never felt so good, it never felt so right)

So much better than it is today

(And we're glowin' like the metal on the edge of a knife)

Long ago and it was far away

So much better
