It's a shot in the dark
But baby I'd like the chance
Fate ain't working
So I'm taking it into my hands
No sad songs not tonight
No slow songs not tonight
It's a shot in the dark
And a chance at real romance
Who'd ever believe
I'd ever see the edge of your tan
But here in the moonlight
Looks like summer is past
You can take me, I'm yours tonight
Make me yours tonight
It's a shot in the dark
And a chance at real romance
Real romance with you, I'd like to see
Romance with you I'd like to feel
Romance with you I'd like to be
The one who does to you what it is you do to me
Shot in the dark and baby I'd like the chance
Fate ain't working so I'm taking it into my hands
Your eyes shine tonight like the first time I saw you dance
I'm gonna get to know you any way that I can
I ain't waiting not tonight
No waiting...
Shot in the dark and a chance at real romance
