[Verse 1]
It's a shot in the dark
But baby I'd like the chance
Fate ain't working
So I'm taking it into my hands
No sad songs, not tonight
No slow songs, not tonight

[Chorus]
Just a shot in the dark
And a chance at real romance
Just a shot in the dark
And a chance at real romance

[Verse 2]
Who'd've believed
I'd ever see the edge of your tan
But here in the moonlight
Looks like summer is past
You can take me
I'm yours tonight
Well, make me yours tonight

[Chorus]
Just a shot in the dark
And a chance at real romance
It's a shot in the dark
And a chance at real romance

[Middle Eight]
Real romance with you
I'd like to see
Romance with you
I'd like to feel
Romance with you
I'd like to be
The one who does to you
What it is you do to me

[Bridge]
It's a shot in the dark
But baby I'd like the chance
Fate ain't working
So I'm taking it into my hands
Your eyes shine tonight
Like the first time I saw you dance
I'm gonna get to know you
Any way that I can
I ain't waiting, not tonight
No wasting

[Chorus]
It's a shot in the dark
And a chance at real romance
Just a shot in the dark
And a chance at real romance

Just a shot in the dark
And a chance at real romance (woah, just a shot in the dark)
Just a shot in the dark
And a chance at real romance (woah, just a shot in the dark)

Just a shot in the dark
And a chance at real romance (woah, just a shot in the dark)
Just a shot in the dark
And a chance at real romance (woah, just a shot in the dark)
