Well I remember every little thing as if it happened only yesterday
Parkin' by the lake and there was not another car in sight
And I never had a girl, lookin' any better than you did
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 a knife
Come on - hold on tight - well come on, hold on tight!
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark ni-ight, I can see paradi-ise by the da-ashboar-oard 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 ya hear my heart, you got it drownin' out the radio
I've been a-waitin' so long for you to come along and have some fu-un
Well I gotta let ya 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 glowin' like the metal on the edge of a knife, glowin' like the metal on the edge of a knife
Come on - hold tight - oh come on - well hold on tight!
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark ni-ight, I can see paradise by the dashboard li-ight
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dar-ark night... (in the deep dar-ark night)
Paradise by-y the dashboard light
You got to do what you can, and let Mother Nature do the rest
There ain't no doubt about it, we was 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 an' tonight's the night...
We're gonna go all the way tonight, we're gonna go all the way an' tonight's the night...
We're gonna go all the way tonight, we're gonna go all the way an' tonight's the night...
We're gonna go all the way tonight, we're gonna go all the way an' tonight's the night...
Ok, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker goin' here, two down, nobody on, no score, bottom of the ninth
There's the wind-up 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 - 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 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 in 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!
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 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?
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 mornin'
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 mornin'
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 mornin'
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?
What's it gonna be boy, come on, I can wait all night
What's it gonna be boy, yes or know, what's it gonna be boy, yes - or - no
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 mornin'
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?
(Well let me sleep on it, I'll give you an answer in the mornin')
Will you take me away and will you make me your wife (I'll tell you in the morning)
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)
Well 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 swearin' to my God and on my mother's grave
That I would love you 'til the end of time
I swore that I would love you 'til the end of time!
So now I'm prayin' 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 prayin' for the end of time, that's all that I can do
Prayin' for the end of time, so I can end my time wi-ith 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 and it was so much better than it is today
And 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
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
Well it was long ago and it was far away and it was so much better than it is today [fade]
