in the heat of the night
Sandra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Talk to me
Want my Love
Talk to me
But not that stuff

You ain't enough
Just usin' my love
N' you call for me
N' again I see

In the heat of the night
You'll lose your heart
And sell your soul
I lose control
In the heat of the night
It's much too late
To leave the trade
But I can't stand it anymore
You'll lose your heart
And your soul
I lose control
In the heat of the night

Talk to me
Want my Love
Talk to me
But not that stuff

Who's on my side
Losin' my pride
N' you call for me
N' again I see

In the heat of the night
You'll lose your heart
And sell your soul
I lose control
In the heat of the night
It's much too late
To leave the trade
But I can't stand it anymore
You'll lose your heart
And your soul




I lose control
In the heat of the night

Overall Meaning

"In The Heat Of The Night" by Sandra is a song about a woman who is tired of her lover’s empty promises and only wanting her for physical pleasure. She wants him to have an honest conversation with her, to talk to her about his feelings and emotions, and not just for the sake of sex. The lyrics suggest that this has been going on for a while, and she is fed up with it. She feels used by him, and she questions who's on her side, who can she trust.


The chorus of the song repeats that in the heat of the night, he will lose his heart and his soul, while she loses control. This suggests that their interactions are often sexual and passionate, but ultimately, she is left feeling empty and unfulfilled. She comments that it's too late to leave the trade but that she can't stand it anymore; she wants more than just physical gratification.


The lyrics of this song are relatable to many people who have found themselves in a similar situation, where a relationship is based on physical gratification, rather than emotional intimacy. It highlights the importance of communication and honesty in relationships and how trivializing love can lead to negative consequences.


Line by Line Meaning

Talk to me
Communicate with me


Want my Love
You desire my love


Talk to me
Communicate with me


But not that stuff
But please refrain from discussing certain topics


You ain't enough
You are not sufficient


Just usin' my love
You are only taking advantage of my love


N' you call for me
And you still reach out to me


N' again I see
And again I witness your actions


In the heat of the night
During the night's fervor


You'll lose your heart
You will become infatuated


And sell your soul
And make a deal that compromises your values


I lose control
I lose my ability to stay composed


In the heat of the night
During the night's fervor


It's much too late
It is beyond the point of return


To leave the trade
To abandon the situation


But I can't stand it anymore
But I can no longer tolerate it


You'll lose your heart
You will become infatuated


And your soul
And make a deal that compromises your values


I lose control
I lose my ability to stay composed


In the heat of the night
During the night's fervor


Who's on my side
Who is supporting me


Losin' my pride
Feeling ashamed of myself


N' you call for me
And you still reach out to me


N' again I see
And again I witness your actions

You aint enough
Just usin my love

In the heat of the night
You lose your heart
And sell your soul

In the heat of the night
Its much too late
To leave the trade
But I cant stand it anymore
You lose your heart
And your soul
I lose control
In the heat of the night
Talk to me

In the heat of the night
You lose your heart
And sell your soul

In the heat of the night
Its much too late
To leave the trade
But I cant stand it anymore
You lose your heart
And your soul
I lose control
In the heat of the night
