In The Heat Of The Night Lyrics


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, 'cause no one can feel
Like youOut in the summertime city, ain't it a pity
There's so much to tie you down
You're leaving tonight to somewhere you can't
Be foundWhile down at the edge of town
At a pool hall where they all hang around
You can hear them talkin' about the girls they knew
And talkin' about what they're gonna doThen 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 something new
But nothin' is real, and no one can feel
Like youThey say, eagles fly in this red hot sky
But were they just passin' through
Or did they look down, and see what you've found

Was trueBut still in the back of your mind
You've got somethin' 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 nothing yet
But what you see you'll never forget, and you'll sayDid it take you so long to want something more?
And did you never get off on this before?
Well, here it is the love you've been waitin' for
Standin' in front of you like an open doorAnd 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, 'cause no one can feel
Like you

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Pat Benatar is a four-time Grammy winner with six platinum and four gold albums to her credit as well as such hit singles as "I Need A Lover", "Heartbreaker", "Fire and Ice", "Treat Me Right", "Hit Me With Your Best Shot", "Hell Is For Children", "Shadows Of The Night", and "Love Is A Battlefield". Benatar is acknowledged as one of the leading female rock vocalists in the industry.

She was born in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, New York City, USA, on January 10th 1953, as Patricia Andrzejewski and graduated Lindenhurst High on Long Island in 1971. She married her lead guitarist, Neil "Spider" Geraldo, in 1982, and has two children, Haley and Hana.

In 1973, Benatar quit her job as a bank teller to pursue a singing career after being inspired by a Liza Minnelli concert she saw in Richmond. She got a job as a singing waitress at a flapper-esque nightclub named "The Roaring Twenties", and got a gig singing in lounge band Coxon's Army. They garnered enough attention to be the subject of a never-aired PBS special, and the band's bassist, Roger Capps, would go on to be the original bass player for the Pat Benatar band.

This period also yielded Benatar's first solo single – 1974's "Day Gig" – until her eventual major label debut on Chrysalis Records in 1979. The song was released via Trace Records, and was both written and produced by Coxon's Army band leader Phil Coxon.

Benatar's big break came in 1975 at an amateur night at the comedy club "Catch a Rising Star" in New York City. Her rousing rendition of Judy Garland's "Rock-a-Bye Your Baby with a Dixie Melody" earned her a call back by club owner Rick Newman, who would later become her manager.

After many years of producing big budget albums, Neil and Pat have continued to produce albums together, even though they have decided to end their association with major labels. They have chosen instead to place the care of their children above industry demands, and make records at home in their own professional quality studio. Each summer when their girls get out of school for vacation, they all pack up, board a tour bus, and set out to play as many shows as they can fit into the summer months. Pat and Neil maintain a close, and much more personal, relationship with their fans, than they were able to do in 80's during the heights of their commercial success.
