I Drove All Night

Written by Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly, the song was originally recorded by Roy Orbison, but was first made famous by Cyndi Lauper in 1989, while Orbison's recording would be released in 1992, a few years following his death. The track was the first single off Lauper's third album A Night to Remember and would go on to peak at number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming her final U.S. top 40 hit to date. It also received a Grammy nomination for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance.

[Verse 1] 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, I [Pre-Chorus 1] Could taste your sweet kisses, your arms open wide This fever for you is just burning me up inside [Chorus] I drove all night to get to you Is that all right? I drove all night Crept in your room Woke you from your sleep To make love to you Is that all right? I drove all night [Verse 2] What in this world Keeps 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 da-ah-ark [Pre-Chorus 2] No one can move me the way that you do Nothing erases the feeling between me and you [Chorus] I drove all night to get to you Is that all right? I drove all night Crept in your room Woke you from your sleep To make love to you Is that all right? I drove all night [Pre-Chorus 1] Could taste your sweet kisses, your arms open wide This fever for you is just burning me up inside [Chorus] I drove all night to get to you Is that all right? I drove all night Crept in your room Woke you from your sleep To make love to you I drove all night [Outro] Taste your sweet kisses, your arms open wide This fever for you is just burning me up inside I drove all night...
