Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In a cold, hard world
When you're out on your own
Oh, there's a cruel harsh world
You'll get to know
[Verse 2]
No one understands (No one understands)
What it's like in misery
All the great demands
Your love has made on me
Made on me
[Verse 3]
In the heat
In the heat of the night
In the heat
In the heat of the night
[Verse 4]
As their faces turn
Everywhere that you go
It's the eyes the burn
Right through to your soul
[Verse 5]
Feel the rhythm on the street (Rhythm on the street)
A distant scream from who knows where
Now the picture is complete
Through the dark and runnin' scared
[Verse 6]
In the heat
In the heat of the night
In the heat
In the heat of the night
[Verse 7]
In the heat
In the heat
[Verse 8]
In the heat (No one understands)
In the heat of the night
In the heat (No one understands)
In the heat of the night
In the heat (No one understands)
In the heat of the night
In the heat (No one understands)
In the heat of the night
