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
