In the heat of the night In the heat of the night Why did our feelings die in action? When we fought for satisfaction? But our hearts sent S.O.S. Please save me Why did our love lose all its magic? Missing you is kind of tragic We were heatin' for the best In the heat of the night Much too close to the fire And the power of our hearts Made us weak by desire In the heat of the night Much too close to the fire And the power of our hearts Made us weak by desire In the heat of the night In the heat of the night In the heat of the night (tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight.)
