In the heat of the night
Cold sweat creeping cross my brow
In the heat of the night
I'm feeling motherless somehow
Stars with evil eyes stare down from the sky
Are beaming bright
(In the heat of the night)
In the heat of the night
Got me some troubles wall to wall
In the heat of the night
Must be an ending to it all
Just hold on and it won't be long
Just be strong
And it'll be alright
(In the heat of the night)
Ain't a woman yet been born
Who could make the morning come
It's so hard to keep control
When I could sell my soul for just a little light
(In the heat of the night)
Ain't a woman yet been born
Who could make the morning come
It's so hard to keep control
When I could sell my soul for just a little light
(In the heat of the night)
In the heat of the night
Got me some troubles wall to wall
In the heat of the night
Must be an ending to it all
Just hold on
Just be strong
And it'll be alright
(In the heat of the night)
In the heat of the night
