Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Whenever I'm with him
Something inside
Inside
Starts to burning
And I'm filled with desire
[PreChorus]
Could it be a devil in me?
Or is this the way love's supposed to be?
[Chorus]
It's like a heat wave
Burning in my heart
It's like a heat wave
I can't keep from crying
Like a heat wave
It's tearing me apart
[Verse 2]
Whenever he calls my name
So slow, sweet and plain
Right then, right there, I feel that burning flame
[PreChorus]
Has a high blood pressure got a hold on me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be?
[Verse 3]
It's like a heat wave
Burning in my heart
It's like a heat wave
Can't keep from crying
Like a heat wave
It's tearing me apart
[Refrain]
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Heat wave
Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Heat wave
[Verse 4]
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
[PreChorus]
Now that funny feeling has me amazed
Don't know what to do, my heads in a haze
[Chorus]
It's like a heat wave
Burning in my heart
It's like a heat wave
I can't keep from crying
Like a heat wave
It's tearing me apart
[Bridge]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Run and tell that, girl
Whoa, yeah
Go ahead, girl
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Run and tell that, girl
Oh, yeah
Ain't nothin' but love, girl
I feel it burning
Don't pass up this chance
I hear it in heart
It sounds like true romance
[Outro]
Don't you know it's like a heat wave
Yeah, yeah
Burning
Yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah
Burning, burning, burning
Don't you know it's like a heat wave
Burning, burning, burning
Burning
Right here in my heart
Burning, burning, burning
Yeah, yeah
Burning
Yeah, yeah
Burning
Oh, yeah
