Oh There's a cruel harsh word you'll get to know No one understands what it's like in misery
All the great demands your love has made on me In the heat In the heat of the night In the heat In the heat of the night
As their faces turn everywhere that you go
It's the eyes that burn right through to your sole Feel the rhythm of the street
A distant scream from who knows where - Now the picture is complete Through the dark and running scared In the heat In the heat of the night In the heat In the heat of the night
