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!
