In The Heat Of The Night

In the heat of the night, when you know it aint right

But you do what you wanna do

You do what you feel, no one can feel like you

Out in the summertime city, aint it a pity

Theres so much to tie you down

Youre leaving tonight to somewhere you cant be found

While down at the edge of town

At a pool hall where they all hang around

You hear them talkin about the girls they knew

And talk about what theyre gonna do

Then you ask yourself, is this where you belong? 

Is it right, or is it wrong? 

Does it matter whats right, in the heat of the night? 

Out in the streets tonight, under the neon lights

Youre searchin for something new

But nothin is real, and no one can feel like you

They say that eagles fly in this red hot sky

But were they just passin through

Or did they look down, and see what you found was true

But still in the back of your mind

Youve got somethin to believe in, but theres so much to find

As the bright lights dim, and the night closes in

You thought everything is ending, but its yet to begin

And you aint seen nothing yet!

But what you see youll never forget, and youll 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 youve been waitin for

Why oh why)

Standin in front of you like an open door

And then you ask yourself, is this where you belong? 

Is it right, or is it wrong? 

Does it matter whats right, in the heat of the night? 

In the heat of the night, when you know it aint right

But you do what you wanna do

You do what you feel, `cause no one can feel like you
