| 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 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 on tight | |
| 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 | |
| BOTH: | |
| Ain't no doubt about it | |
| Baby got to go out 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'cha hear my heart | |
| You got it drowing 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 | |
| Well I wanna make you 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 on tight | |
| C'mon, Hold on tight | |
| BOTH: | |
| Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night | |
| I can see paradise by the dashboard light | |
| 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 | |
| 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 wind-up, 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 the center | |
| And here's 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 | |
| Amd what a jump he's got | |
| He's trying for third | |
| Here's the throw | |
| It's in the dirt, safe a third | |
| Holw cow, stolen base | |
| He's taking a pretty big lead out there | |
| Almost daring them to 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 | |
| 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 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 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: | |
| I gotta know right now | |
| Do you love me | |
| Will you love me forever | |
| Do you need 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 | |
| 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 | |
| BOY: | |
| 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 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 | |
| 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. | |
| GIRL: | |
| It never felt so good, It never felt so right | |
| And we were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife. |
