Hot Night

[Verse 1]
It’s a hot night
And I don’t feel like sleeping
I got too much commotion
Running 'round my mind
Some kind of second sight
I see the meaning of everything
With the fever of the free and easy
In the summertime

[Chorus]
Ain’t nobody gonna give it to ya'
You got to steal it
Ain’t nobody gonna live it for ya'
So you better feel it now

[Verse 2]
It’s a hot night
I hear the dogs in the distance
I hear the men coming down the street
Pickin' up the trash
It sounds like a fist fight
Like a squalid existence
But they’re singing in the dawning day
Like nobody asked

[Chorus]
Ain’t nobody gonna give it to ya'
You got to steal it
Ain’t nobody gonna live it for ya'
So you better feel it now

[Verse 3]
It’s a hot night
And I don’t feel like sleeping
Lying next to my lover
And I can hear his dreams
I feel like rising bread
Like a hothouse flower
Like I’m drunk on whiskey sour
Down the street in New Orleans

[Verse 4]
It’s a hot night
Lying next to my lover
And there’s nowhere tomorrow
That I need to get
So I say not quite
Don’t take this night away from me
I don’t feel like sleeping yet
I said I don't feel like sleeping yet
Said I don't feel like sleeping yet
