In the heat of the night when you know it ain’t right But you do what you want to do. You do what you feel but no one can feel like you.
In the summertime city ain’t it a pity There’s so much to tie you down You’re leaving tonight for somewhere you can’t be found
While down at the end of town At a pool hall where they all hang around You can hear them talking ‘bout girls they know Talking ‘bout what they’re gonna do Then you ask yourself: is this where you belong, Is it right or is it wrong And does it matter what’s right In the heat of the night. In the streets tonight under the neon lights You’re searching for something new. Nothing is real but no one could feel like you.
They say eagles fly in this red hot sky But were they just passing through Or did they look down and see what you found was true.
But still in the back of your mind You’ve got something to believe in But there’s so much to find As the bright lights dim and the night closes in . You thought everything has ended But it’s yet to begin And you ain’t see nothing yet (but) what you see you won’t forget
You say Why oh why did it take you so long to want something more oh why did you never got off on this before and here it is the life you’ve standing in front of you like an open door.
And you ask yourself: is this where you belong, Is it right or is it wrong And does it matter what’s right In the heat of the night.
In the heat of the night when you know it ain’t right But you do what you want to do. You do what you feel but no one can feel like you.
