In the Heat of the Night

In the heat of the night

Seems like a cold sweat

Creeping cross my brow, yeah

In the heat of the night

I'm a feelin' motherless somehow

Stars with evil eyes stare from the sky

All mean and bright

(In the heat of the night)



Ain't a woman here before

Knows how to make the morning come

It's so hard to keep control

When I could sell my soul, oh, for just a little light

(In the heat of the night)

In the heat of the night



I've got trouble wall to wall, oh yes I have

An' I repeat, oh, I repeat in the night

Must be an ending to us all

Oh Lord, it won't be long

Just you be strong

And it'll be all right

(In the heat of the night)
