I set my mind to it. Said I wasn't gonna do it. No how. No sir. No way. I wouldn't give my heart up. Gonna keep my guard up. And save it for another day. Then you walked in with that crazy grin. And everything I swore before got lost in your eyes. And flew right out the door. [Chorus] Suddenly I heard love songs. Playing real soft on the jukebox. Somebody ordered up moonlight. And painted stars all across the sky. Is it gravity or destiny. Either way there's nothing I can do. Looks like I picked the wrong night. Not to fall in love with you. I briefly resisted but my heart insisted. It was gonna be giving in. Hard as I was trying there was no denying. Which one of us would win. You came up beside me and asked if I'd be wantin' to have dance. And right then I knew. This thing was out of my hands. [Chorus: x2]
