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 sk** 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,
You 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.
