In the heat of the night
Seems like a cold sweat
Creepin' 'cross my brow, oh yes
In the heat of the night, my little baby
I'm feeling more or less somehow
Stars with evil eyes
Staring from the skies
Oh, all mean and bright
Ain't a woman that's been born
And that includes you, my baby
Knows how to make the morning come
Yes, I know, I know it's so hard to keep control
When I would sell my soul
For just a little ride, yeah
In the heat of the night, yes
You know I've got so many troubles
Oh, they're piling up wall to wall
Oh yes, I have, baby
Yes, in the heat of the night, my little child
There must be an ending
Ooh, there's gotta be an ending to it all
Just hold on, hold on, it won't be long, baby
You just got to be so strong
And it'll be alright
In the heat of the night
