I never meant to be so bad to you

One thing I said that I would never do

A look from you and I would fall from grace

And that would wipe the smile right from my face

Do you remember when we used to dance

And incidents arose from circumstance?

One thing led to another, we were young

And we would scream together songs unsung

It was the heat of the moment

Telling me what my heart meant

The heat of the moment shone in your eyes

And now you find yourself in '82

The disco hot-spots hold no charm for you

You can't concern yourself with bigger things

You catch a pearl and ride the dragon's wings

'Cause it's the heat of the moment

Heat of the moment

The heat of the moment shone in your eyes

And when your looks are gone and you're alone

How many nights you sit beside the phone?

What were the things you wanted for yourself?

Teenage ambition you remember well

It was the heat of the moment

Telling you what your heart meant

It was the heat of the moment shone in your eyes

It was the heat of the moment

Heat of the moment

Heat of the moment shone in your eyes

Heat of the moment

Heat of the moment

Heat of the moment shone in your eyes
