Well, it's a hot night
Excitement
And in the heat of the night
The flames ignited
I see you smiling
Standing there with so many beside you
How can I choose from plastic faces
And Christmas presents done up in June?
I don't know why I am, what I am but that's alright
But I can tell you this
You either got it or you ain't
You either got it or you ain't
There's a cool breeze
Blowin' through the city
And in the heat of the night
It sweetly kisses my skin
Mini-skirts, long legs and painted faces
Sin, sin, sin
Well, I don't go just anywhere
And I don't please just anyone that's right
So if you fit the bill, well, c'mon, baby
Show your skill tonight, tonight, tonight
You either got it or you ain't, have you got it?
You either got it or you ain't, oh, show me
It's such a hot night
I'm undecided
But in the heat of the night
I get so excited
I look around and see the scene of pretty faces
And make-up dreams of all you people standing there
Your looks won't get you anywhere at all
Well, I don't preach philosophy
And I don't tell anybody
Just what they should be
But I can tell you this
You either got it or you ain't
You either got it or you ain't
You either got it or you ain't
And that's just about all
