Naked and frozen at the side of a lake,

I think I've gone and made my big mistake,

I took her swimming, we had a fight,

Now my clothes and the lady are well out of sight,



And it looks like I'm heading for a night on the river,

Under the moon and the stars,

Looks like I'm heading for a night on the river,

Me and my beating heart, singing in the dark.



Naked and frozen at the side of a lake,

If she was here I wouldn't hesitate,

To tell her how, the way things are,

With a long conversation in the back of a car,



And it looks like I'm heading for a night on the river,

Under the moon and the stars,

Could be I'm heading for a night on the river,

Just me and my beating heart, singing in the dark;



I think she owes me an explanation,

She's got the whip hand in this situation,

If I try to tell her just the way I feel,

It could start the whole thing all over again,



Ooh, I think I'm heading for a night on the river,

Under the moon and the stars,

Could be I'm heading for a night on the river,

But I see the lights of a car, shining in the dark,



Ooh, could be we're heading for a mm-mm,

Under the moon and the stars,

Could be we're heading for a mm-mm

Just you and me and our beating hearts,

We're singing in the dark...
