Meat Loaf Paradise by the Dashboard Light Letras:
[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!

[Section 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?

Do you love me? Will you love me forever?

[Boy:] Let me sleep on it. Baby, baby, let me sleep on it.

[Boys:] Well, let me sleep on it. Baby, baby, let me sleep on it.

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?

[Boy:] 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'.
[Girl:] I gotta know right now!

[Both, singing on top of each other.]

[Boy:] Let me sleep on it!!!
[Girl:] Will you love me? Will you love me forever?
[Boy:] Baby, baby, let me sleep on it.
[Girl:] Do you need me? Will you never leave me?
[Boy:] Well, let me sleep on it.
[Girl:] Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
[Boy:] I'll give you an answer in the mornin'.
[Girl:] Will you take me away? Will you make me your wife?

[Each line sung seperately.]

[Girl:] I gotta know right now, before we go any further.
Do you love me? Will you love me forever?
[Boys:] Let me sleep on it.
[Girl:] Will you love me forever?
[Boys:] Let me sleep on it!
[Girl:] Will you love me forever?

[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.

Meat Loaf Paradise by the Dashboard Light Letras Información:

"PARADISE BY THE DASHBOARD LIGHT" 2
Words & Music by: Jim Steinman
Performed by: Meat Loaf & the Neverland Express 3
Featuring: Ellen Foley 4 & Phil Rizzuto 5 6
First released: 7
Single: 1977
Album: 1977

1 Phil Rizzuto (see note 3 below), provides the play-by-play commentary heard
during the bridge. Ostensibly an account of a baseball sequence, it actually
represents the singer's step-by-step efforts to lose his virginity. Since the
end of World War II, baseball, as a metaphor for sex, has been widely used by
men in the United States to describe their successes in "making it" with
women/girls. Although details vary, the most broadly accepted description of
what each base represented is as follows:
1. First base is commonly understood to be French kissing, but can also mean
any mouth-to-mouth kissing.
2. Second base is groping or feeling up underneath a shirt.
3. Third base usually refers to mutual masturbation, fondling or groping
genitals or oral sex.
4. Fourth base or "scoring a run," "hitting a home run," "scoring," "going all
the way," "coming home," "rounding the bases," etc. means having sexual
intercourse.

2 Michael Lee Aday, born Marvin Lee Aday on September 27, 1947, better known
by his stage name Meat Loaf, fronts as lead singer for the Neverland Express.
Despite setbacks (including multiple bankruptcies), Meat Loaf has had a
successful music career, spawning some of the largest-selling albums of all
time, and breaking several records for chart duration. Meat Loaf has also
appeared in over 50 movies or television shows, sometimes as himself, or as
characters resembling his stage persona. His most notable roles include Eddie in
The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Robert "Bob" Paulson in Fight Club (credited
as "Meat Loaf Aday"). Additionally, he has made a number of appearances on the
television show House.

3 This three-part epic describes a high school couple on a date, going for a
drive to the lake and later reminiscing about it. "Paradise by the Dashboard
Light" reached #39 on the Billboard Pop 100 in 1978, but was a #1 hit in
Australia. Bat out of Hell, the debut album which had been four years in the
making, and contains "Paradise by the Dashboard Light," has sold over 43 million
copies. And after more than 30 years, it still sells an estimated 200,000 copies
annually.

4 Although Ellen Foley is the female singer recorded on the album, another
woman, Karla DeVito, was used in the video and for live performances.

5 A former Yankee shorstop for 15 years, Phil Rizzuto enjoyed a 40-year career
as a radio and television sports announcer for the Yankees. He became known for
his popular but idiosyncratic style and his catch phrase, "Holy cow!" He was
inducted to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1994. He died in 2007 at age 89.
