In the heat of the night

Seems like a cold sweat

Creeping cross my brow oh yes

In the heat of the night

I'm feelin' motherless somehow

Stars with evil eyes stare from the sky

In the evil eyes

Ain't a woman here before

Knows how to make the morning come

So hard to keep control

Well I sell my soul

For just a little light

In the heat of the night

I've got trouble wall to wall

Oh yes I have

I repeat in the night

Must be an ending to it all

Oh lord it won't be long

Just you be strong

And it'll be all right

In the heat of the night

I've got trouble wall to wall

Oh yes I have

I repeat

I repeat in the night

And must be an ending to it all

I hold on hold on it won't be long

Just you be strong

Well it'll be all right

In the heat of the night
