In the heat of the night Seems like a cold sweat creepin' across my brow, yeah In the heat of the night I'm feelin' motherless somehow Stars with evil eyes stare from the skies all mean and bright
Had a woman here before Knows how to make the mornin' come It's so hard to keep it flowin' When I would sell my soul for just a little light
In the heat of the night I've got trouble wall to wall, woah yes I have I repeat, I repeat in the night Must be an ending to it all But hold on honey, won't be long Just you be strong And it'll be alright
