In the Heat of the Night Lyrics

In The Heat Of The Night, when you know it ain't right

But you do what you wanna do

You do what you feel, no one can feel like you

Out in the summertime city, ain't it a pity

There's so much to tie you down

You're leaving tonight to somewhere you can't be found

While down at the edge of town

At a pool hall where they all hang around

You hear them talkin' about the girls they knew

And talk about what they're gonna do

Then you ask yourself, is this where you belong?

Is it right, or is it wrong?

Does it matter what's right, In The Heat Of The Night?

Out in the streets tonight, under the neon lights

You're searchin' for something new

But nothin' is real, and no one can feel like you

They say that eagles fly in this red hot sky

But were they just passin' through

Or did they look down, and see what you found was true

But still in the back of your mind

You've got somethin' to believe in, but there's so much to find

As the bright lights dim, and the night closes in

You thought everything is ending, but it's yet to begin

And you ain't seen nothing yet!

But what you see you'll never forget, and you'll say

Why oh Why)

Did it take you so long to want something more?

Did you never get off on this before?

Well, here it is, the love you've been waitin' for

Standin' in front of you like an open door

And then you ask yourself, is this where you belong?

You do what you feel, `cause no one can feel like you
