Now when I was a young girl

My dad warned me about...

The opposite sex

He'd say "Yeah, that's 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 thinkin' it sounds kinda nice



That'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

Now when I look at you I think that's just what I need



Now my mama 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 callin' you at work

And messin' up your plans."



Night falls, I slow down

I stop dreamin', but you're comin' around



That'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

Now when I look at you I think that's just what I need



Moonlight, sweet bliss

And melting with every kiss

Dancin', real slow

When you hold me close I know...



That'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

Now when I look at you I think that's just what I need
