Various Artists Paradise by the Dashboard Light lyrics

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

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

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
Baby, don't you 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

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 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

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
Paradise by the dashboard light

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

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? 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?
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

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
Oh, let me sleep on it, baby, baby let me sleep on it
Well, let me sleep on it, I'll give you answer in the morning

I gotta know right now
Do you love me? Will you love me forever?
(Let me sleep on it, baby, baby let me sleep on it)
Do you need me? Will you never leave me?
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
(Well, let me sleep on it, I'll give you answer in the morning, morning
I'll tell you in the 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?
(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, ooh, ooh
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 than it is today
Well, it was long ago and it was far away
