Whenever I'm with him Something inside Starts to burning And I'm filled with desire Could it be a devil in me Or is this the way love's supposed to be? It's like a heat wave Burning in my heart (It's like a heat wave) I can't keep from crying (It's like a heat wave) It's tearing me apart Whenever he calls my name Soft, low, sweet, and plain Right then, right there, I feel that burning flame Has high blood pressure got a hold on me Or is this the way love's supposed to be? It's like a heat wave Burning in my heart (It's like a heat wave) I can't keep from crying (It's like a heat wave) It's tearing me apart Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh, heat wave Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh, heat wave Sometimes I stare in space Tears all over my face I can't explain it, don't understand it I ain't never felt like this before Now that funny feeling has me amazed Don't know what to do, my head's in a haze It's like a heat wave Burning in my heart (It's like a heat wave) I can't keep from crying (It's like a heat wave) It's tearing me apart Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (But it's all right, girl) Oh (Go ahead, girl) Yeah, yeah (Well, it's all right, girl) Oh (Can't miss it, that's love, girl) I feel it burning (Don't pass up this chance) Right here in my heart
