[Verse 1] The night came dressed in gold Sweat on the window glass Your red dress caught the fan And made the whole room crack Ice in the cup ran down Then disappeared too fast Baby, you moved one step And the floorboards caught that spark [Pre-Chorus] Come a little closer Feel that rhythm bite Everybody’s burning In this velvet night [Chorus] Heat of the night Heat of the night Shake it, baby Don’t you slow tonight Heat of the night Heat of the night Hold me tight And let it run all night [Verse 2] The balcony smells like rain Mixed with rum and lime Your laugh hits hard as brass Right on the one, on time Heels on the tiled floor Clicking out your name I lean in, you turn back And the whole room jumps in flame [Pre-Chorus] Come a little closer Feel that rhythm bite Everybody’s burning In this velvet night [Chorus] Heat of the night Heat of the night Shake it, baby Don’t you slow tonight Heat of the night Heat of the night Hold me tight And let it run all night [Bridge] [Percussion break] When the band gets loud We lose the trace of time Your hand finds my shoulder And the dark feels fine [Chorus] Heat of the night Heat of the night Shake it, baby Don’t you slow tonight Heat of the night Heat of the night Hold me tight And let it run all night [Outro] Ay, ay, ay Heat of the night Ay, ay, ay We burn so bright
