In the Heat of the Night

In the heat of the night

Seems like a cold sweat creeping cross my brow

Yeah

In the heat of the night

I'm a feelin' motherless somehow

Stars with evil eyes stare from the sky

On me and bright

(In the heat of the night)

Ain't a woman here before

Knows how to make the morning come

So hard to keep control

Well I could sell my soul for just a little light

(In the heat of the night)

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

But oh Lord, it won't be long

Just you be strong

And it'll be all right

(In the heat of the night)
