| Song lyrics |
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 tight!
C'mon! Holdtight!
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
Ain't no doubt about it
Baby got to 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 don't ya hear my heart
You got it drowning 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
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 glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C'mon! Hold tight!
C'mon! Hold tight!
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
Though its cold and lonely in the deep dark night
In 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...
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 windup, 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-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 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!
II. LET ME SLEEP ON 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:
whats it gonna be boy?
C'mon iv got all night
whats it gonna be boy?
yes or no
whats it gonna be boy YES or NO!!!!
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!!!!
III. PRAYING FOR THE END OF TIME
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 that 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
It's all that I can do
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 that it is today
GIRL:
it never felt so good it never felt so right
we were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife

I LOVE this song. My only problem is the car analogy ("I wanna make your motor run"). For some reason I find it uncomfortably vulgar here (though I love it in Simon & Garfunkel's Baby Driver - "I wonder how your engines feel").
Whatever happened to the days when the girl who'd have sex with you was your saviour - what happened to the days of that as paradise?
The baseball narrator is very amusing, but boring to me compared with the rest of the song. My absolute favorite part, however, is at the end where it builds and builds and he says "I swore I'd love you till the end of time... and now i'm praying for the end of time" --- MAJOR BURN! It's the best thing ever. | 20-12-2004 14:27 RonnieFrank |  1 posts

Where to begin.....i love meatloaf and this song is no exception if its not heard once a day i get withdrawals!! The only thing i can complain about is the amount of repeats but i cant even complain about that coz it means i get to hear his awesome voice for even longer. The comparison between the car and the woman is a bit cliched but well written into the song. Two Tumbs up | 12-01-2005 03:32 heavy_rocker_o1 |  184 posts
