Meat Loaf Lyrics
Paradise by the Dashboard Light

[Section I. Paradise:]

[Boy:] 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.
C'mon! Hold on tight! Well, 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.

[All:] Well, ain't no doubt about it, baby, gotta go 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, doncha hear my heart? You got it drownin' out the radio.
I've been waitin' so long for you to come along and have some fun.
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.
C'mon! Hold tight! Well c'mon! Hold on tight!

[All:] Though it's cold and lonley in the deep dark night,
I can see paradise by the dashboard light.
Though it's cold and lonley in the deep dark night, (Night.)
(Deep dark night.)
...Paradise by the dashboard light.

You got to do what you can and let Mother Nature do the rest.
Well, ain't no doubt about it, we were doubly blessed.
'Cause we were barely seventeen and we were barely...

[Boys:] We're gonna go all the way tonight.
We're gonna go all he way an' tonight's the night...
We're gonna go all the way tonight
We're gonna go all he way an' tonight's the night...
We're gonna go all the way tonight.
We're gonna go all he way an' tonight's the night...
We're gonna go all the way tonight
We're gonna go all he way an' tonight's the night...

[Radio Broadcast over grunting, panting & moaning sounds:] 1

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 roundin' first and really turnin' it on now, he's not lettin' 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 tryin' for third. Here's the throw, it's in the dirt-- safe at
third! Holy cow, stolen base!

He's takin' a pretty big lead out there, almost darin' 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, there'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 need me? Will you never leave me?

[Section III. Praying for the End of Time:]

[Boy:] I couldn't take it any longer, Lord, I was crazed!
And when the feelin' came upon me like a tidal wave,
I started swearin' 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!

[All:] 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.
[Boy:] But god only knows what I can do right now.
[All:] I'm prayin' for the end of time, that's all that I can do. (Woo, woo!)
Prayin' 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.
Well, it was long ago and it was far away.

[Girl begins her part (see below)]

[Boy sings at same time as Girl:]
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.
It was long ago and it was far away.
And it was so much better than it is today.
[Fade.]
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.
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 glowin' like the metal on the edge of a knife.
It never felt so good. It never felt so right.
And we were glowin' like the metal on the edge of a knife.
It never felt so good. It never felt so right.
And we were glowin' like the metal on the edge of a knife.
[Fade.]
It never felt so good. It never felt so right.
And we were glowin' like the metal on the edge of a knife.
It never felt so good. It never felt so right.
And we were glowin' like the metal on the edge of a knife.
It never felt so good. It never felt so right.
And we were glowin' like the metal on the edge of a knife.
