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 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 your heart meant
  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
  
  'Cause it's the heat of the moment
  The heat of the moment
  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 your heart meant
  The heat of the moment showed in your eyes
  'Cause it's the heat of the moment
  The heat of the moment
  The heat of the moment showed in your eyes
