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 niceIt'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 needNow, 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 plansBut night falls, I slow down
I start dreaming
'Bout you coming aroundIt'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 needMoonlight, sweet bliss
Melting with every kiss
Dancing real slow
When you hold me close I knowIt'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
