[Verse 1] The air was thick with mango skin Your shirt was dark with rain and gin We stood where the doorway turned to gold And every laugh came soft and old Your hand found mine in the crowd Your eyes said things you never said out loud The fan kept swinging, slow and low But your name made my whole chest glow [Pre-Chorus] Ay, the night was a fever Ay, the sky held on Your smile was a spark And the dark sang on [Chorus] Heat of the night, stay on me Heat of the night, set me free We were young, we were wild Heat of the night, heat of the night (Heat of the night) (Heat of the night) [Verse 2] The ice in the glass melted down The band played hard from the far side of town We danced too close, then laughed apart Like we could hide the burn in our hearts Your collar caught the candlelight I still taste salt on that summer night Every step back then felt right Like we were made for this heat of night [Pre-Chorus] Ay, the night was a fever Ay, the sky held on Your smile was a spark And the dark sang on [Chorus] Heat of the night, stay on me Heat of the night, set me free We were young, we were wild Heat of the night, heat of the night (Heat of the night) (Heat of the night) [Bridge] Now the years come in like rain But I still feel that sweet champagne One slow turn and I’m there again In that warm room, in that easy flame [Final Chorus] Heat of the night, stay on me Heat of the night, set me free We were young, we were wild Heat of the night, heat of the night Heat of the night, don’t let go Heat of the night, I still know We were young, we were wild Heat of the night, heat of the night (Heat of the night) (Heat of the night)
