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 In the heat In the heat of the night In the heat In the heat of the night As their faces turn everywhere that you go It's the eyes that burn right through to your sole Feel the rhythm 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 In the heat In the heat of the night In the heat In the heat No one understands in the heat of the night No one understands in the heat of the night
