Shot in the Dark
Embracing Destiny: A Shot in the Dark for Real Romance
Lyrics
It's a shot in the dark
Expressing a risky endeavor or uncertain situation
But baby I'd like the chance
Expressing a desire for an opportunity despite the uncertainty
Fate ain't working
Implying that destiny or luck is not helping
So I'm taking it into my hands
Taking control of one's fate and making decisions independently
No sad songs not tonight
Rejecting sad songs for the moment
No slow songs not tonight
Avoiding slow songs for a more upbeat experience
It's a shot in the dark
Reiterating the theme of taking a risk despite uncertainty
And a chance at real romance
Highlighting the potential for genuine romantic connection
Who'd ever believe
Expressing surprise at reaching a significant point in a relationship
I'd ever see the edge of your tan
Noting a surprising aspect of the partner's appearance
But here in the moonlight
Setting the scene in a romantic atmosphere
Looks like summer is past
Suggesting a shift from a warm season to a cooler one
You can take me, I'm yours tonight
Expressing willingness to be claimed or possessed romantically
Make me yours tonight
Reiterating the desire to be claimed romantically
It's a shot in the dark
Reemphasizing the risky nature of the romantic pursuit
And a chance at real romance
Highlighting the potential for genuine romantic connection (repeated)
Real romance with you, I'd like to see
Expressing the desire for a real romantic connection with the partner
Romance with you I'd like to feel
Reiterating the wish for a romantic experience with the partner
Romance with you I'd like to be
Expressing the desire to be the one who reciprocates romantic gestures
The one who does to you what it is you do to me
Describing a reciprocal romantic dynamic between partners
Shot in the dark and baby I'd like the chance
Repeating the desire for a romantic chance or opportunity
Fate ain't working so I'm taking it into my hands
Reiterating the idea of taking control of one's fate romantically
Your eyes shine tonight like the first time I saw you dance
Complimenting the partner's eyes and recalling a past encounter
I'm gonna get to know you any way that I can
Expressing determination to get to know the partner better
I ain't waiting not tonight
Refusing to wait for romantic opportunities
No waiting...
Emphasizing the immediacy of the desire for romance
Shot in the dark and a chance at real romance
Reiterating the theme of taking a romantic risk (repeated)
