 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,
 (Just) 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;
Oh,----------------------------------------------------------
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...
