In the Heat of the Night, When You Know It Ain't Right
But You Do What You Wanna Do
You Do What You Feel, 'cos no One Can Feel Like You
Out in the Summertime City, Ain't It a Pity, There's So Much to Tie You Down
You're Leavin' Tonight to Somewhere You Can't Be Found
While Down At the End of Town, At a Pool Hall Where They All Hang Around
You Hear Them Talking About the Girls and You
They Talk About What They're Gonna Do
Then You Ask Yourself, Is This Where You Belong? Is It Right Or Is It Wrong?
Does It Matter What's Right in the Heat of the Night
Out in the Streets Tonight, Under the Neon Lights
You're Searchin' For Somethin' New
But Nothin' Is Real and no One Can Feel Like You
They Say Eagles Fly in This Red Hot Sky, But Were They Just Passin' Through
Or Did They Look Down to See What You Found Was True
But Still in a Ragged 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 Is Ending, But It's Yet to Begin
And You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet, But What You See You'll Never Forget
And You Say
(Why Oh Why) Did It Take You So Long to Want Something More
(Why Oh Why) Did You Never Get Off On This Before
(Why Oh Why) Well Here It Is, the Love You've Been Waitin' For
(Why Oh Why) Standin' in Front of You Like An Open Door
(Instrumental Break)
Then You Ask Yourself, Is This Where You Belong? Is It Right Or Is It Wrong?
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 Wanna Do
You Do What You Feel, 'cos no One Can Feel Like You
