Well the joint starts jumping
And your heart starts pumping
And you see a little girl and you know she's gonna tear you apart
Well the room starts swaying
And you find yourself saying
"Will you take a little spin with me baby, out on the floor?"
Well it's just another night
Well, it's just another day
Just another shot in the dark, yeah, just another day
Well, it's just another night
Well, it's just another day
Just another shot in the heart, yeah, just another way
Well, your head starts spinning
And your lines start winning
And you know she's gonna break your heart by that look in her eyes
Well, the rules start breaking
And your hands start shaking
And there's a teardrop memory telling you to tell no lies
Well it's just another night
Well, it's just another day
Just another shot in the dark, yeah, just another day
Well, it's just another night
Well, it's just another day
Just another shot in the heart, yeah, just another way
Well, the band starts playing
And your hands start straying
And there's fear that's stopping you, your world is dropping away
Well, the world starts waking
And the dawn starts breaking
And you know that you're taking her home and you want her to stay
Well it's just another night
Well, it's just another day
Just another shot in the dark, yeah, just another day
Well, it's just another night
Well, it's just another day
Just another shot in the heart, yeah, just another way
Shot in the Dark was written by Alvin Lee & David Hubbard.
