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
An incident arose from circumstance
One thing let do another, we were young
And we would scream together, songs unsung

It was the heat of the moment
Tellin' me what our hearts meant
The heat of the moment shone in your eyes

And now you find yourself in '82
The disco hot foots hold the jump for you
You can't concern yourself with bigger things
You catch and pull a ride on 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 ambitions, 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
The heat of the moment
The heat of the moment
Shone in your eyes
The heat of the moment
The heat of the moment
The heat of the moment
The heat of the moment
