Paradise by the Dashboard Light Lyrics

Paradise by the Dashboard Light - Meat Loaf

Man:
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

Together:
Well now our bodies were 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 knife

Man:
Well come on
Hold on tight
Well come on
Hold on tight

Together:
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep, dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light

Woman:
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
Well ain't no doubt about it, we were doubly blessed
'Cause we were barely seventeen and we were barely dressed

Man:
Baby don't you hear my heart, you got it drownin' out the radio
I been a-waitin' 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 be alright, I'm gonna make your motor run

Together:
Well now our bodies were 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 knife

Man:
Well come on
Hold on tight
Well come on
Hold on tight

Woman:
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep, dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light

Together:
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-

Together:
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

Woman:
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? And will you love me forever?

Man:
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'

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'

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'

Woman:
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 now, I can wait all night
What's it gonna be, boy, yes or no? What's it gonna be, boy, yes or no?

Man:
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'

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'

Woman:
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?

Man:
Well let me sleep on it

Woman:
Will you love me forever?

Man:
Well let me sleep on it

Woman:
Will you love me forever?

Man:
I couldn't take it any longer and dang I was crazy
When the feeling came upon me like a tidal wave
Started swearing to my God and on my mother's grave
That I would love you 'til the end of time
I swore I would love you 'til the end of time

Together:
So now I'm prayin' for the end of time
So hurry up playin' around
'Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don't think that I could really survive

I'll never break my promise or forget my vow

Man:
But God only knows what I could do right now

Together:
Prayin' for the end of time is all that I can do, ooh, ooh
Prayin' for the end of time
So I can end my time with you

Man:
Well it was long ago and it was far away and it was so much better than it is today...(fade out)

Woman:
It never felt so good, it never felt so right and it was blowin' like the metal on the edge of a knife...(fade out)

Well there you have the best song to do at karaoke. You seriously need to practice it first but it's some of the best fun anyone can have in their life. If you're a male you need a female friend and vice versa. I strongly recommend it.

I love this song because it's almost like a play within a song, like an opera....sort of.

I have a very special place in my heart for Meat Loaf but that's for another post.
