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
