Ray Parker Jr - Heat Of The Night lyrics

rate me

He promises you things will be different

If you just give him one more try

You want so bad to believe

Though you know it's just another lie

He wants to know if he can come over

And that he's sorry about the other night

Though your mind says no

Your heart tells 'em it's alright

Deep in the night

He promises you love forever

Don't you know better girl

Than to believe a man

In the heat of the night

(Heat of the night)

It's nothing but promises

(Heat of the night)

Heat of the night

(Heat of the night)

Be careful baby

(Heat of the night)

He starts with touching you all over

Whispering sweet nothings in your ear

Though you know it's jive

At the time it's what you wanna hear

Now you're intelligent enough to know better

But you just for the moment get weak

As nature takes control and you start

To feel the heat

Then the next day you're wondering why

Why me? Oh, why me?

You got caught baby

With your defenses down

In the heat of the night

(Heat of the night)

Ain't nothing but lies

(Heat of the night)

Heat of the night

Whoa, yeah, heat of the night baby

(Heat of the night)

Oh, his passion made you believe

He loved only you

But when he slipped and cried out

Another woman's name

You shoulda knew

You'll never see the truth

'Til he's through

(He's just been using you)

You shoulda known better girl

Than to believe a man

In the heat of the night baby

(Heat of the night)

It's nothing but promises

(Heat of the night)

Heat of the night

(Heat of the night)

Baby why must you get burned to learn

(Heat of the night)

In the heat of the night

(Heat of the night)

It's nothing but promises

(Heat of the night)

You shoulda known better girl

(Heat of the night)

Than to believe a man

In the heat of the night

(Heat of the night)

Oh

(Heat of the night)

(Heat of the night)
