In the Heat of the Night

In the heat of the nightSeems like a cold sweatCreeping cross my brow, yeah

In the heat of the nightI'm a feelin' motherless somehowStars with evil eyes stare from the skyAll mean and bright(In the heat of the night)

Ain't a woman here beforeKnows how to make the morning comeIt's so hard to keep controlWhen I could sell my soul, oh, for just a little light(In the heat of the night)

In the heat of the nightI've got trouble wall to wall, oh yes I haveAn' I repeat, oh, I repeat in the nightMust be an ending to us allOh Lord, it won't be longJust you be strongAnd it'll be all right(In the heat of the night)In the heat of the night
