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 it 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 menat

The heat of the moment showed in your eyes



And now you find yourself in '82

The disco hot spots hold no charm for you

You can concern yourself with bigger things

You catch a 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 showed in your eyes



And when your looks have gone and you're alone

How many nights you sit beside the phone

What were the things you wanted for yourself

Teenage ambitions you remember well
