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 soul
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.
