[Back to the Lyrics Section]

In a cold hard world when you're out on your own
Oh there's a cruel harsh word you'll get to know
No-one understands what it's like in misery
All the great demands your love has made on me (made on me)

In the heat in the heat of the night
[Da da doo da, da da doo da, da da doo da]   
In the heat in the heat of the night
[Da da doo da da da daa daa]

As their faces turn everywhere that you go
It's the eyes that  burn right through your soul
Feel the rythm of the street (rythm of the street)
A distant scream from who knows where
Now the picture is complete
Through the dark and running scared

In the heat in the heat of the night
[Da dan da da n da da n da da]
In the heat in the heat of the night
[Da dup n dee bud  up bup ba aah]

In the heat in the heat
No one understands in the heat of the night
repeat till fade
