[Verse 1]
In the heat of the night
We used to hold each other tight
Do you remember?
Seems like only yesterday
Girl, when you went away
How I remember
[Pre-Chorus]
You said you'd never leave me
Why did you deceive me?
Girl, I miss you more every night
You said you'd always need me
Always try to please me
Now, leavin' me, girl, just wasn't right
[Chorus]
In the heat of the night
I can still remember
In the heat of the night
[Verse 2]
Every time I see you
Walking down the street
I start to thinking
Thinking of the times
The times when you were mine
I'm just so lonely
[Pre-Chorus]
Girl, you've got me going
Out of my mind
I think it's just a matter of time
I need to have you with me
Every day and night
Now, leavin' me, girl, just wasn't right
[Chorus]
In the heat of the night
Why'd you do this to me?
In the heat of the night
I can still remember
In the heat of the night
Why'd you do this to me?
In the heat of the night
Oh, how I remember
In the heat
(In the heat of the night)
(In the heat of the night, ah)
[Keyboard Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
You said you'd never leave me
Why did you deceive me?
Girl, I miss you more every night
You said you'd always need me
Always try to please me
Now, leavin' me, girl, just wasn't right
[Bridge]
In the heat of the night
In the heat of the night
In the heat of the night
In the heat of the night
[Chorus]
In the heat of the night
I can still remember
In the heat of the night
I just can't believe it
In the heat of the night
Why'd you want to do this to me, girl?
In the heat of the night
Oh, how I remember
In the heat of the night
