The Heat Of The Night

There ain't no heart in this city Nothin' for a young girl, so soft and pretty There's just the pounding of the streets now (Hey, hey, hey) The flesh and blood, concrete and steel They tell you love doesn't grow here (Hey, hey, hey) But it gets so close, it feels so real In the heat of the night Burning up a dream together Oh, oh In the heat of the night Girl, it's such a sweet surrender Hard life What have you done for me? Now, the good times, baby They sure don't come for free But if this life is a gamble (Hey, hey, hey) I'll roll the dice 'til I get what I deserve They tell you luck ain't no lady (Hey, hey, hey) You can lose your money Just don't lose your nerve In the heat of the night Burning up a dream together Oh, oh In the heat of the night Trying to make it last forever, ever Oh, just make it last for the night Ooh, yeah You're the one that I want, girl (Hey, hey, hey) And I'm the one who won't ever let you go So don't you worry 'bout your heart, now (Hey, hey, hey) Cause we're gonna find out what they're really for In the heat of the night Burning up a dream together Oh, oh In the heat of the night Trying to make it last forever, ever Oh, oh Cause we've got time in our corner, love on our side There's nowhere to run, but now there's nothing to hide Don't say it doesn't hurt, it doesn't get inside I know you feel it, honey I can see it in your eyes In the heat of the night Burning up a dream together In the heat of the night Baby, hold me tight In the heat of the night
