Ray Parker Jr. - In the Heat of the Night lyrics

He promises you things'll be different If you just give him one more try Want so bad to believe Though you know it's just another lie Wants to know if he can come over And that he's sorry 'bout the other night Though your mind says no Your heart tells him it's alright Deep in the night 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) There's nothin' but promises (Heat of the night) Heat of the night (Heat of the night) Be careful, baby (Heat of the night), whoa 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 want to hear I am intelligent enough to know better But you just for a moment get weak As nature takes control And you start to feel the heat, oh, hoo, hoo 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) Nothin' but lies (Heat of the night) Heat of the night (Heat of the night), whoa Heat of the night, baby (Heat of the night), whoa His pa**ion made you think He loved only you When he slipped and cried out another woman's name You shoulda knew You'll never see the truth Till he's through (He's just been usin' you) You should have known better, girl Than to believe a man In the heat of the night, baby (Heat of the night) There's nothin' 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) There's nothin' 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), whoa (Heat of the night) (Heat of the night)
