words and music by Ray Ducharme, Vic Michener, and Rick Paul
From the album Thinking With My Heart
Sittin’ in the back row
Down at the movie show
Teasin’ and squeezin’ and carryin’ on
Whisperin’ sweet nothin’s
Kissin’ and a-huggin’
Lost in the magic of learnin’ ’bout love
No hearts ever beat that fast
No passion ever burned so bright
Our love was gonna last forever
Lord, I need her tonight
Cruisin’ in the old car
Can’t go very far
We’re outta money, and gas is runnin’ low
Parkin’ on a back road
Steamin’ up the windows
Body next to body, never gonna let go
No hearts ever beat that fast
No passion ever burned so bright
Our love was gonna last forever
Lord, I need her tonight
Now those carefree days have faded
Passion never burns as bright
What happened to that girl
Lord, I need her tonight
I remember
Swimmin’ at the reservoir
Swearin’ on every star
She’d always love me, and I’d always love her
Takin’ that final step
Losin’ our innocence
Never any doubt, we were both the first
No hearts ever beat that fast
No passion ever burned so bright
Our love was gonna last forever
Lord, I need her tonight
Our love was gonna last forever
Lord, I need her tonight
