"My Story (In The Heat Of The Night)" lyrics

So, you should have seen me years ago
Time was never on my side, you know
The stars shine even brighter
Just before they die
And scars could tell a story
Or the sense to lie...

In the heat of the night (oh, oh)
In the heat of the night (oh, oh)
Remember the stories, remember my name
And all the glory smells like shame
In the heat of the night (oh, oh)
In the heat of the night (oh, oh)
Remember the stories, remember my name
And all the glory smells like shame

In the heat of the night...

So I'm feeling no regrets for gone-by days
'Cause fame, like a summer bird that leaves. Or stays
Somehow, you will understand I had to lie
Some stars shine even brighter
Just before they die

In the heat of the night (oh, oh)
In the heat of the night (oh, oh)
Remember the stories, remember my name
And all the glory smells like shame
In the heat of the night (oh, oh)
In the heat of the night (oh, oh)
Remember the stories, remember my name
And all the glory smells like shame

In the heat of the night...
Oooooooooh...
