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
ย
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
ย
While down at the edge of town
At a pool hall where they all hang around
You hear them talk 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?
ย
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 the 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?
ย
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?
ย
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
