* 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
And you do what you feel
But no one can feel like you
In the summertime city ain't it a pity,
There's so much to tie you down
You're leaving tonight
For somewhere you can't be found
While down at the end of town,
At a pool hall where they all hang around
You can hear them talking 'bout girls
They know,
Talking 'bout what they're gonna do
Then you ask yourself,
Is this where you belong,
Is it right or is it wrong,
And does it matter what's right,
In the heat of the night
Ah, in the streets tonight
Under the neon lights
You're searching for something new
Nothing is real
But no one could 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 was 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 see nothing yet
But what you see you won't forget, you say
(Why, oh why)
Did it take ya so long to want something more
(Why, oh why)
And did you never got off on this before
(Why, oh why)
Here it is the life, you've been waitin' for
(Why, oh why)
Standing in front of you like an open door
- interlude -
And you ask yourself,
Is this where you belong
Is it right or is it wrong
And does it matter what's right
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
But no one can feel like you
