I Drove All Night

I think is one of the most purely sexual songs I have ever heard. While I believe it was originally sung by Roy Orbison, I much prefer the version by Cyndi Lauper. Orbison's voice just isn't suited to this song, whereas Lauper's oozes sensuality, adding another level entirely to a song about a woman who has done exactly what the title says, in order to slip into her lovers bed and wake him with sex. The lyrics are the same either way, but there is a BIG difference between the tracks if you listen to them. Gotta admit, part of me is wickedly curious as to what it would be like for a woman to wake me like that.

I Drove All Night by Cyndi Lauper

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
