[Verse 1]
All alone on a mystic night
There you stood in the pale moonlight
I wanted to know you
You were standing here and now you're gone
You could just feel the passion all in the air
I wanted to touch you but I would not dare

[Chorus]
I had to know you
You were standing here and now you're gone
Oh oh, oh oh
You were standing here and now you're gone

[Verse 2]
You started to dance, so slow, so smooth
Your body seduced me on your every mode
I just had to know you
You were standing here and now you're gone
Then you stopped, he called out to you
You turned and left me, there was nothing I could do

[Chorus]
I wanted to know you
You were standing here and now you're gone
Oh oh, oh oh
You were standing here and now you're gone

[Instrumental break]

[Outro]
Oh oh, oh oh
You were standing here and now you're gone
Oh oh, oh oh
You were standing here and now you're gone
