In the heat of the night, when you know it ain't right But you do what you want to do You do what you feel, so no one can feel like you In this summertime city, it ain't a pity There's so much to tie you down You're leaving this city tonight, but somewhere you can be found While we're down here at the end of town At a pool hall where they all hang around Did you hear them talking about the girls today? Talking about what they're gonna do And you ask yourself, is this where you belong? Is it right or is it wrong? It doesn't matter what's right In the heat of the night Out in the streets tonight, under the neon lights You're searching for something new Nothing is real, but no one can feel like you They say eagles fly in this red hot sky But were they just passing through? Or did they look down and see what you found? It's true But still, in the back of your mind You've got something to believe in But there's so much to find As the bright lights dim and the night closes in You thought everything has ended, but it's yet to begin And you ain't seen nothing yet But what you say you won't forget, you say Did it take you so long to want something more? Did you never get off on this before? Here it is, the life you've been waiting for Standing in front of you like an open door And you ain't seen nothing yet But what you say you won't forget, you say Did it take you so long to want something more? Did you never get off on this before? Here it is, the life you've been waiting for Standing in front of you like an open door And you ain't seen nothing yet But what you say you won't forget, you say And you ask yourself, is this where you belong? Is it right or is it wrong? In the heat of the night In the heat of the night When you know it ain't right But you do what you want to do You do what you feel No one can feel like you You do what you feel
