Paradise By The Dashboard Light Lyrics

1. PARADISE

 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 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!

 C'mon! Hold on tight!

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

 I can see paradise by the dashboard light

 GIRL:

 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

 

 BOY:

 'Cause we were barely seventeen

 And we were barely dressed

 Baby doncha 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

 And 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!

 C'mon! Hold on tight!

 Though it's 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

 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...

 RADIO BROADCAST

 OK, 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!

 II. LET ME SLEEP ON 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 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 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

 GIRL:

 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?

 BOY:

 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

 GIRL:

 Will you love me forever?

 BOY: 

 Let me sleep on it

 GIRL:

 Will you love me forever!!!!

 III. PRAYING FOR THE END OF TIME

 I couldn't 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 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!!

 BOY:

 It was long ago and it was far away

 And it was so much better that it is today

 GIRL:

 It never felt so good

 It never felt so right

 And we were glowing like 

 A metal on the edge of a knife
