[Verse 1]
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
[PreChorus]
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
Come on, hold on tight
Well, come on, hold on tight
[Chorus]
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep, dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Baby, don't you hear my heart?
You got it drowning out the radio
I've been a-waitin' 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 alright, well, I wanna make your motor run
[PreChorus]
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
Come on, hold on tight
Well, come on, hold on tight
[Chorus]
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
Paradise by the dashboard light
[Verse 3]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Bridge]
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 in 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
The batter steps up to the plate
Here's the pitch
And 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 here
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, here's the throw
Here's the play at the plate
Holy cow! I think he's gonna make it
[Verse 4]
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?
[Verse 5]
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?
[Verse 6]
I gotta know right now
Before we go any further
Do you love me?
Will you love me forever?
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
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?
[Verse 11]
I gotta know right now
Before we go any further
Do you love me?
Will you love me forever?
[Verse 12]
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?
[Verse 13]
Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby, let me sleep on it
Oh, let me sleep on it
I'll give you an answer in the morning
[Verse 14]
I gotta know right now
Do you love me?
Let me sleep on it
Will you love me forever? Do you need me?
Baby, baby, let me sleep on it
Will you never leave me?
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
Let me sleep on it, I'll give you an answer in the morning
Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?
The morning, I'll tell you in the morning
[Verse 15]
I gotta know right now
Before we go any further
Do you love me?
Will you love me forever?
[Verse 16]
Let me sleep on it
Will you love me forever?
Let me sleep on it
Will you love me forever?
[Verse 17]
I couldn't take it any longer
Lord! I was crazed
And when the feeling came upon me like a tidal wave
Started swearing to my god and on my mother's grave
That I would love you to the end of time
I swore I would love you to the end of time
[Verse 18]
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
[Verse 19]
I'm praying for the end of time
It's all that I can do, ooh-ooh
Praying for the end of time
So I can end my time with you
[Outro]
Well, it was long ago and it was far away
And it was so much better than it is today
Well, it was long ago and it was far away
And it was so much better than it is today
[Outro]
It was long ago and it was far away
And it was so much better than it is today
Well, it was long ago and it was far away
And it was so much better than it is today
[Verse 20]
It was long ago and it was far away
And it was so much better than it is today
Well, it was long ago and it was far away
And it was so much better than it is today
