In the Heat of the Night

In a cold hard world when you're out on your ownOh

there's a cruel harsh word you'll get to know.

No one understands what it's like in miseryAll 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 goIt's the eyes that burn right through to your sole.

Feel the rhythm of the streetA 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.In the heat

in the heatNo one understands in the heat of the night.No one understands in the heat of the night. . . .
