[I'd do anything for love]
Paradise by the dashboard light
I. Paradise
[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
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 doncha hear my heart
You got it drowning out the radio
I've been waitin so long
For you to come along and have some fun
And 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 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
Oh it's cold and lonely 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 tonight's the night
We're gonna go all the way tonight
We're gonna go all the way tonight's the night
We're gonna go all the way tonight
We're gonna go all the way tonight's the night
We're gonna go all the way tonight
We're gonna go all the way 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 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, its
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 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 th
e play at the plate, holy cow, I think he's gonna make it!

III. Praying for the End of Time
[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 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 than it is today
[Girl]
It never felt so good
It never felt so right
And we were glowing like
A metal on the edge of a knife
I'd do anything for love
And
I would do anything for love
I'd run right into hell and back
I would do anything for love
I'll never lie to you and that's a fact
But I'll never forget the way you feel right now
Oh no - no way
R:
I would do anything for love (Repeat three times)
But I won't do that
No I won't do that
And some days it don't come easy and some days it don't come hard
Some days it don't come at all and these are the days that never end
And some nights you're breathing fire and some days you're carved in ice
Some days you're like nothing I've ever seen befor or will again
And maybe I'm crazy, oh it's crazy and it's true
I know you can save me no one else can save me now but you
As long as the planets are turning, as long as the stars are burning
As long as your dreams are comong true, you better believe me
That I would do anything for love, and I'll be there 'till the final act
I would do anything for love, and I take a vow and seal a pact
But I'll never forgive myself if we don't go all the way - tonight
R: I would ...
I would do anything for love, anything you've been dreaming of
But I just won't do that ... (repeat several times)
And somedays I pray for silence, somedays I pray for soul
Somedays I just pray for the god of Sex and Drugs and Rock'n'Roll
Some nights I lose the feeling, some nights I lose control
Some nights I just lose it all when I watch you dance and the thunder rolls
Maybe I'm lonely and that's all I'm qualified to be
There's just one and only, the one and only promise I can keep
As long as the wheels are turning, as long as the fires are burning
As long as your prayers are coming true, you better believe it!
That I would do anything for love, and you know it's true and that's a fact
I would do anything for love, and there never be no turning back
But I'll never do it better than I do it with you, so long - so long
R: I would ...
I would do anything for love, anything you've been dreaming of
But I just won't do that ... (repeat several times)
But I never stop dreaming of you every night of my life - no way
R: I would ...
Will you raise me up, will you help me down
Will you get me right out of this godforsaken town
Will you make it all a little less cold
I can do that, I can do that !
Will you hold me sacred, will you hold me tight
Can you colorize my life I'm so sick of black and white
Can you make it all a little less old
I can do that, I can do that !
Will you make me some magic with your own two hands
Can you build an emerald city with this grains of sand
Can you give me something I can take home
I can do that, I can do that !
Will you cater to every fantasy I got, will you hose me down with holy water -
if I get to hot
Will you take me to places I've never known
I can do that, I can do that !
After a while you forget everything, it was a brief interlude
And a midsummernights fling, and you see that it's time to move on
I won't do that, I won't do that !
I know the territory, I've been around
It'll all turn to dust and we'll all fall down
And sooner or later, you'll be screwing around
I won't do that, I won't do that !
Anything for love, I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love, but I won't do that
I won't do that
