In the Heat of the Night - Smokie

作词：Michael Chapman/Nicky Chinn

作曲：Michael Chapman/Nicky Chinn

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

But no one can feel like you

In the summer time city

Ain't it a pity

There's so much to tie you down

You're leaving tonight

But somewhere you can be found

Walk down to the end of town

There's a poolhall where they all hang round

You can hear them talk about the girls to do

Talk about what they're gonna do

And you ask yourself

Is this the way 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 searching for something new

Nothing is real but no one can feel like you

They say eagles fly

In the red hot sky

But were they just passing through

Or did they look down

And see what you found is true

But still in the back of your 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 nothing yet

What you see you won't forget

You'll say

Tyro why

Did it take you so long to want something more

Tyro why

Did you never get of on this before

Tyro why

Here it is life you've been waiting for

Tyro why

Standing in front of you like an open door

And 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

But no one can feel like you
