(Karen StaleyDoug Kahan)



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

Now I'm thinkin' it sounds kinda nice



It'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



Now my momma told me in this dog-eat-dog world

You gotta work harder than a man

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 start dreamin' of you comin' around



It'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



Moonlight, sweet bliss

Melting with every kiss

Dancin' real slow

When you hold me close I know



It'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



Just what I need

Just what I need

Oh yeah
