Now, when I was a young girl
My dad warned me about
The opposite sex
He's say, 'Yeah, that just what you need
Some crazy boy with wild ideas
You know what always happens next.'

I tried to heed his advice
But now I'm thinking it sound kinda nice

It's just what I need on a night like this
A long walk in the dark
Someone I can't resist
A little rendezvous, a little mystery
When I look at you
I think that's just what I need

Now, my momma told me,
'In this dog-eat-dog world
Baby, you gotta work
Harder than a man'
And she'd say, 'Yeah,
That's just what you need
Some romance book Romeo
Calling you at work
And messing up your plans

But night falls, I slow down
I start dreaming
'Bout you coming around

It's just what I need on a night like this
A long walk in the dark
Someone I can't resist
A little rendezvous, a little mystery
When I look at you
I think that's just what I need

Moonlight, sweet bliss
Melting with every kiss
Dancing real slow
When you hold me close I know

It's just what I need on a night like this
A long walk in the dark
Someone I can't resist
A little rendezvous, a little mystery
When I look at you
I think that's just what I need
