In the heat of the night
Seems like a cold sweat creeping cross my brow
In the heat of the night
I feel motherless somehow
Stars with evil eyes stare from the skies
Ominous and bright
Ain't a woman here before
knows how to make the morning come
It's so hard to keep control
Well I could sell my soul for just a little light
In the heat of the night
I've got trouble wall-to-wall
Oh,yes,I have
I repeat
I repeat in the night
Must be an ending to it all
Oh,Lord,it won't be long
Yeah,you be strong
And  it'll be all right
In the heat of the night
In the heat of the night
