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.
