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...
