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 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 Telling you what your heart meant The heat of the moment shone in your eyes 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 Heat of the moment
