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
Tellin' 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 the pearl and ride
the dragon's wings
'Cause it's the heat
of the moment
The 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
Tellin' you what your
heart meant
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
