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, 'cause 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 can hear them talkin' about the girls they knew   And talkin' 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, eagles fly in this red hot sky   But were they just passin' through   Or did they look down, and see what you've 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      Did it take you so long to want something more?   And 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?   Is it right, or is it wrong?   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 wanna do   You do what you feel, 'cause no one can feel   Like you
