|
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, no one can feel like you |
|
Out 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 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 they're gonna do |
|
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? |
|
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 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 |
|
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 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 you've 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 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 |
