[Intro 2x]
DThe heat is on, on the street 
Inside your head, on every Gbeat 
And the beat's so Dloud, deep inside 
The pressure's high, just to stay aGlive 
'Cause the heat is on D  
[Chorus]
DOh-wo-ho, oh-wo-ho 
Am7Caught up in the action I've been looking out for you 
DOh-wo-ho, oh-wo-ho 
Am7(Tell me can you feel it) 
(Tell me can you feel it) 
(Tell me can you feel it) 
The heat is Don, the heat is on, the heat is on 
Oh it's on the Gstreet , the heat is - - - - Don  (break, 4x Basedrum)
[Bridge](2x Sax und Riff )

DOh-wo-ho, oh-wo-ho 
Am7Caught up in the action I've been looking out for you 
DOh-wo-ho, oh-wo-ho

(Tell me can you feel it) 
The heat is Don, the heat is on, the heat is on 
Oh it's on the Gstreet , the heat is - - - - Don  (break, 4x Basedrum)
The shadows high on the darker side 
Behind those doors, it's a wilder ride 
You can make a break, you can win or lose 
That's a chance you take, when the heat's on you 
When the heat is on 
[Chorus] 
(no break - continiue with:)
The heat is on, the heat is on, the heat is on 
Yeah it's on the street 
The heat is - - - - - - - - on (break, 8x Basedrum)
