Last night I kissed a stranger in the dark
Last night I played with danger in the dark
I don't know quite how it happend
I didn't accept or decline
I only know that it happened
His shadow got mixed up with mine

His eyes were like a beacon in the dark
And my heart began to weaken in the dark
Strangely confused and excited
His kisses ignited a spark
And love said, "Howdy, Stranger" in the dark
