Paradise By The Dashboard Light - Live

Lyrics

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
 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 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...
 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!
 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?
 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
 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
 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
 It never felt so good
 It never felt so right
 And we were glowing like
 A metal on the edge of a knife
