In the Heat of the Night

The things we say in the heat of the night

The things we say in the heat of the night

I'll be the North, you be South

You pulled me in as you got out

You're telling me to calm down

(The things we say in the heat of the night)

Now everything is coming out

(The things we say in the heat of the night)

It's the way you carry on and the way that you lie

It's under harsh lights, baby, we say our goodbye

It's been a long time coming, so don't act surprised

The things we say in the heat of the night

I hear a choir of slot machines

Breaking of glass and wasted teens

You're telling me to calm down

(The things we say in the heat of the night)

We really need to settle this now

(The things we say in the heat of the night)

It's the way you carry on and the way that you lie

It's under harsh lights, baby, we say our goodbye

It's been a long time coming, so don't act surprised

The things we say in the heat of the night

(The things we say in the heat of the night)

(The things we say in the heat of the night)

It's just the things we say in the heat of the night

It's just the things we say in the heat of the night

The things we say in the heat of the night

The things we say in the heat of the night

It's the way you carry on and the way that you lie

It's under harsh lights, baby, we say our goodbye

It's been a long time coming, so don't act surprised

The things we say in the heat of the night
