Paradise By The Dashboard Light Video (MV)

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

Though 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

BOTH:

Ain't no doubt about it

Baby got to go out 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 don'cha hear my heart

You got it drowing 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 you 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

BOTH:

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

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 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 the center

And here's 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

Amd what a jump he's got

He's trying for third

Here's the throw

It's in the dirt, safe a third

Holw cow, stolen base

He's taking a pretty big lead out there

Almost daring them to 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

Here's the throw, here's the play at the plate

Holy cow, I think he's gonna make 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 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

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

BOY:

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 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

So I can end my time with you

BOY:

It was long ago and it was far away,

And it was so much better than it is today.

GIRL:

It never felt so good, It never felt so right

And we were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
