In a beat of your heart in the sound of your name Did you ever want someone to hold you Do you still feel the same Did you want me to lose my reputation Well alright I'll do it for you There's no time to assess the situation And I don't know what I'm gonna do I'm under your spell you'd better not tell on me In the heat of the night I don't care if it's right When you give me what I need There's a ringing in my brain I'm up against the wall tonight Do you have to make me crawl till I'm not a man at all Do you want me on my knees Oh you're making me weak with the things that you say Are you gonna keep making me promises then walking away Did you think that I'd sit here and wait for you Like I've got nothing to do When you whisper all those things to me Oh yeh babe I'd do it for you I'm under your spell you'd better not tell on me In the heat of the night I don't care if it's right When you give me what I need There's a ringing in my brain I'm up against the wall tonight Do you have to make me crawl till I'm not a man at all Do you want me on my knees And when you come to me and hold me tight Nothing's real, nothing's right Oh come on whisper in my ear All the things that I wanna hear
