Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Stranger, stranger
Stranger, stranger
[Verse 2]
It's hot at night, lonely, black, and quiet
On a hot summer night
Don't be afraid of the world we made
On a hot summer night
[Verse 3]
'Cause when a long-legged lovely walks by
Yeah, you can see the look in her eye
Then you know that it's
[Verse 4]
Hot in the city
Hot in the city tonight (Tonight)
Hot in the city
Hot in the city tonight (Tonight)
[Verse 5]
Stranger, stranger
[Verse 6]
For all the dreams and schemes, people are as they seem
On a hot summer night
Don't be no fun, don't forget you're young
On a hot summer night
[Verse 7]
A some time someone, you're not
Don't wait to see what you've got
'Cause you know that you're
[Verse 8]
Hot in the city
Hot in the city tonight (Tonight)
Alright
Hot in the city
(Hot) In the city tonight (Tonight)
[Verse 9]
(Walkin') To the groove, baby
(Walkin')
[Verse 10]
Well, walkin' till my feet drop
I'm a train when I'm hateful
Yeah, lay right down, now
And ride until your head breaks
I'm a-walkin' till my brain pops (Walkin')
I will move with the beat, now (Walkin', walkin')
I'm a chain round an A-bomb (Walkin', walkin')
I'm a livin' in the heat now
New York
[Verse 11]
Hot in the city
Hot in the city tonight (Tonight)
In love
Hot in the city
Hot in the city tonight (Tonight)
Hot in the city
Hot in the city tonight
In love (Tonight), in love
Hot in the city
Hot in the city tonight
In love (Tonight), I'm in love
You know you're
Hot in the city
Hot in the city tonight (Tonight)
Tonight (Alright, yeah)
Hot in the city
Hot in the city tonight
