Whenever I`m with him
Something inside
Starts to burning
And I`m filled with desire
Could it be the devil in me
Or is this the way love`s supposed to be
It`s like a heat wave
Burning in my heart
Can`t keep from crying
It`s tearing me apart
Whenever he calls my name
Soft, low, sweet and plain
I feel, yeah yeah
Well 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
Can`t keep from crying
It`s tearing me apart
Sometimes I stare into space
Tears all over my face
I can`t explain it
Don`t understand it
I hadn`t ever felt like this before
Now that funny feeling has me amazed
I Don`t know what to do
My head`s in a haze
It`s like a heat wave
Burning in my heart
Can`t keep from crying
It`s tearing me apart
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah oh oh (heat wave)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
oh (heat wave)
Don`t pass up this chance
This time it`s true romance
Heat wave
Heat wave
Heat wave
Oooh heat wave
