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)
