I never meant to be so bad to you
One thing I said that I would never do
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 

It was the heat of the moment
Telling me what my heart menat
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 

It was the heat of the moment
Telling me what my heart menat
The heat of the moment showed in your eyes
