Songtexte Paradise By The Dashboard Lights - Live 1977 - Meat Loaf

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
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
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
We were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed
Oh baby, don't you hear my heart
You got it drowning out of 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 arlight, baby I wanna make your motor run
And our bodies are, oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
Now 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
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
The deep dark night, 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
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
Hey Carla, hey Carla
We've been goin' out for a long time, sweetheart
I mean, we've been goin' out for a long time
You know, you know
And I think, I think
You know what I mean
OK, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker goin' here
Two down, nobody on, no score, bottom on 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 a second
The ball is bobbled out in center and here comes a 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 the plate, here's the pitch and he's goin'
And what a jump he's got, he's tryin' 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
Pitcher glances over, wind's up, and it's bunted, bunted down at 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...
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?
Take me away and 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?
Take me away and make me your wife?
I gotta know right now
Before we go any furter
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
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
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
I'll give you an answer in the morning

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 no?
What's it gonna be, boy?
Yes or no?
Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it

And I'll give you an answer in the morning
