Smokie – 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 want to do
You do what you feel no one can feel like you

In the summertime city ain’t it a pity
There’s so much to tie you down
You’re leaving tonight for somewhere you can’t be found

While down at the end of town
At a pool hall where they all hang around
You can hear them talk ‘bout girls they knew
Talk ‘bout 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
Your searching for something new
Nothing is real and no one can feel like you
They say eagles fly in this red hot sky
But were they just passing through
Or did they look down and see what you found it’s 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 has ended but it’s yet to begin
And you ain’t seen nothing yet
And what you see you won’t forget
And you say Why oh why?
Did it take you so long to want something more
Did you never get off on this before
And here it is life you’ve been waiting for
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
No one can feel like you
