"I Drove All
Night" is a song written and composed by American songwriters Billy
Steinberg and Tom Kelly and made famous by American singer Cyndi Lauper. The
song was originally intended for Roy Orbison, who recorded it in 1987, the year
before his death, but his version was not released until 1992, after Lauper's
version became a top 10 hit on both sides of the Atlantic in 1989. The song has
also been covered by Pinmonkey (2002) and Celine Dion (2003) among others.
I had to escape
The city was sticky and cruel
Maybe I should have called you first
But I was dying to get to you
I was dreaming while I drove
The long straight road ahead, uh, huh
Could taste your sweet kisses
Your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burning me up inside
I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
What in this world
Keep us from tearing apart
No matter where I go I hear
The beating of your heart
I think about you
When the night is cold and dark
No one can move me
The way that you do
Nothing erases the feeling between me and you
I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
Could taste your sweet kisses
Your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burning me up inside
I drove all night to get to you
Is that alright
I drove all night
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
I drove all night... to hold you tight.
