BOY:

As if it happened only [G]yesterday

And there was [G]not another [A]car in [D]sight

And I never had a girl

And all the [F#]kids at school

They were [G]wishing they were [A]me that [D]night

And now our [Bb]bodies are [F]oh so [C]close and [D]tight

It never fel[Bb]t so good, [F]it never [C]felt so [D]right

And we're [G]glowing like the [D]metal on the [A]edge of a [D]knife

[G]Glowing like the [D]metal on the [A]edge of a [D]knife

[G]C'mon! Hold on [F]tight[A]!

Though it's [G]cold and [A]lonely in the [D]deep dark [G]night

I can [D]see para[Bmin]dise by the [G]dash[Emin]board [D]light

GIRL:

We were doub[A]ly [G]blessed

And we were barely [D]dressed

[G]Baby got to [A]go and [D]shout it

We were dou[A]bly [G]blessed

BOY:

And we were barely [D]dressed

Baby doncha hear my heart

I've been [C]waiting so long

No you're never gonna re[G]gret it

It'll [E]feel all right

And now our [Bb]bodies are [F]oh so [C]close and [D]tight

It never [Bb]felt so [F]good, it never [C]felt so [D]right

And we're [G]glowing like the [D]metal on the [A]edge of a [D]knife

[G]Glowing like the [D]metal on the [A]edge of a [D]knife

[G]C'mon! Hold on [F]tight![A]

Though it's [G]cold and l[A]onely in the [D]deep dark [G]night

[G]I can see para[D]dise by the [F#min]dashboard [G]light

Though it's [Emin]cold and [D]lonely in the [Bmin]deep dark [A]night [F#](in the deep dark [G]night)

[G]You got to [A]do what you [D]can

[G]Ain't no [A]doubt about [D]it

'Cause we were [Emin]barely seventeen

And we were barely-

We're gonna go all the way

We're gonna go all the way tonight

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, holy cow, I think he's gonna make it!

II. LET ME SLEEP ON IT

A (single strum) A G G

I [D]gotta [A]know right now!

Before we go any further!

Do you [D]need me?

Will you never leave me?

Will you m[C]ake me so happy for the [G]rest of my life?

Will you [A]take me away and will you make me your wife?

Paradise By The Dashboard Light M4a1

Before [A]we go any further

Paradise By The Dashboard Light M4a Cover

Will you [D]love me forever!?

BOY:

Baby, baby let me [D]sleep on it

And I'll [G]give you an answer in the [D]morning

Baby, baby let me [D]sleep on it

And I'll [G]give you an answer in the [D]morning

Baby, baby let me [A]sleep on it

And I'll [D]give you an answer in the [C]mor[G]ning

GIRL:

BOY:

III. PRAYING FOR THE END OF TIME

I couldn't [F]take it any longer

Lord I was crazed

Like a [F]tidal wave

I started [C]swearing to my god and on my [G]mother's grave

That I would [F]love you to the [G]end of [C]time

I swore that I would [F]love you to the [G]end of [C]time![G]

To [F]hurry up [G]and [C]arrive

'Cause [C]if I gotta [G]spend another [Amin]minute with you

I'll never [F]break my promise or forget my vow

I'm [C]praying for the [G]end of [C]time

[C]Praying for the [G]end of [C]time,

It was [F]long a[C]go and it was [G]far a[C]way

And it was [F]so much [C]better that [G]it is to[C]day

GIRL:

It never felt so right

A metal on the edge of a knife

Paradise by the Dashboard Light Lyrics

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..

Come on guys, ya got the hot girl in the front seat of the car and all you can see of her is by the weak dashboard light..first a kiss..1st base, then a breast or two, 2nd base, and then a hand in her panties, 3rd base, and all this by the poor weak dashboard light. When he is finally gonna get the home run, intercourse, she adds the caveat that he has to love her til the end of time. Well spermicidal toxicidity builds in his brain and loins and he makes the promise and gets the whole package..until the end of time.
Hard-on gone, by the light of day arriving, boy the end of time is long time to wait..and he is waiting.
Great song of sexual ironies for those of us who hard to struggle in front seats with one handed bra releases.. and a knock out singing performance by his female partner!

He is sitting in the car and most people miss this part: Paradise is what he sees when he looks down at her, the home run, the red snapper..for him being in there is Paradise, that's where he wants to go
The baseball talks about first base etc. these are euphemisms for kissing, fondling etc.
She stops him going all the way, until he promises to 'love her till the end of time' I guess a euphemism for marriage.
In other words; she has him by the goolies with a nutcracker!
