[Verse 1] The night leans in on me Like your hand on my chest Your dress is still on my mind Even after you left I taste your name on the air Like rum on my tongue And every step down the hall Is a drum being struck [Verse 2] Your eyes were a match in the dark And I didn't look away We were two fires in a room Trying to stay The window was open wide But nothing came through Just the sound of your laugh And the heat between us two [Pre-Chorus] Ay, baby, come close Don't let it die The whole room is burning And I know why One more turn One more spin If you hold me now We'll burn again [Chorus] Heat of the night Heat of the night You got me right Heat of the night Heat of the night Move with me slow Hold me tonight Don't let me go [Verse 3] Your perfume on my white shirt Won't wash out clean It's got me chasing your shadow Through the in-between The band on the corner Keeps calling your name And every brass cry hits me Like a spark to a flame [Pre-Chorus] Ay, baby, come close Don't let it die The whole room is burning And I know why One more turn One more spin If you hold me now We'll burn again [Chorus] Heat of the night Heat of the night You got me right Heat of the night Heat of the night Move with me slow Hold me tonight Don't let me go [Bridge] Tell me you feel it too Tell me it's real This fire in my body You make me kneel When the horns rise high And the floor shakes low I want your love Like a river wants flow [Chorus] Heat of the night Heat of the night You got me right Heat of the night Heat of the night Move with me slow Hold me tonight Don't let me go
