in the heat of the night
To Die For/To Die For/To Die For Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Talk to me, but not that stuff
You ain't enough
Using my love
And you call, for me
Again, I'll see
In the heat of the night
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
Losing my pride
And you call, for me
Again, I'll see

The singer is clearly unhappy with being taken for granted and being used only for their love.
The chorus "In the heat of the night, you'll lose your heart and sell your soul, I lose control in the heat of the night" expresses the passion and intensity of the relationship that can be both exhilarating and destructive. It's a warning that the relationship is dangerous and it's too late to leave despite the chaos and desperation of the situation. The lines "Who's on my side, losing my pride, and you call, for me again, I'll see" suggest that the singer is struggling with their own self-worth and the conflict of wanting to be loved while also maintaining their own dignity.
