In The Heat Of The Night - Pat Benatar

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, 'cos 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 leavin' tonight to somewhere you can’t be found

While down at the end of town, at a pool hall where they all hang around

You hear them talking about the girls and you

They 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 somethin' 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 to see what you found was true

But still in a ragged 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 is ending, but it’s yet to begin

And you ain’t seen nothin' yet, but what you see you’ll never forget

And you say

(Why oh why) Did it take you so long to want something more

(Why oh why) Did you never get off on this before

(Why oh why) Well here it is, the love you’ve been waitin' for

(Why oh why) Standin' in front of you like an open door

(Instrumental break)

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, 'cos no one can feel like you
