It's a hard run
Loving like we do
Takes way too long to get over you
And remember the line we drew
But call me over and I'm comin' through
We're searching for the night together
Where we don't fall apart
Might be now and it might be never
It's just another shot in the dark
It's just another shot in the dark
And I wonder what it all means
Strange conversation with you in my dreams
And I don't know what I'm gonna do
I've loved seven other women and they all were you
We had a run of bad romances
They always missed the mark
So close your eyes now and take your chances
It's just another shot in the dark
It's just another shot in the dark
I want you in the worst way
Is the gate code still your birthday?
If you thought you met your Casanova
And he left you with a broken heart
Remember when it's done and over
It was only just a shot in the dark
It was only just a shot in the dark
It's just another shot in the dark
It's just another shot in the dark, come on now
It was just another
It was just another now (It was just another)
It was just another now (It was just another)
It was just another now (It was just another)
It was just another now
