Something you know isn't right The reasons somehow are all wrong But you're caught in a moment In the heat of the night Where compassion just doesn't belong Nowhere to hide You got no place to run And no need to understand You can fight it for a moment Fight for your rights But you fight like a man 'Cause in the heat of the night In a moment of passion In the heat of the night There's a chain reaction In the heat of the night When no one is ever to blame Someone is looking at you Someone who wants you tonight You turn for a while To see that look in his eyes That no one could ever deny You try to resist You try to be strong But you know your control is all gone You can't understand You don't have a reason You can't let him go 'Cause in the heat of the night In a moment of passion In the heat of the night There's a strange attraction In the heat of the night When no one remembers your name In the heat of the night In a moment of passion In the heat of the night You can feel the action In the heat of the night When no one is ever to blame In the heat of the night In a moment of passion In the heat of the night There's a chain reaction In the heat of the night When no one remembers your name
