Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Whenever I'm with him
Somethin' inside
Starts to burnin'
And I'm filled with desire
Could it be a devil in me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be?
[Chorus]
It's like a heat wave
It's burnin' in my heart (It's like a heat wave)
I can't keep from cryin' (It's like a heat wave)
It's tearin' me apart
[Verse 2]
Whenever he calls my name
Soft, low, sweet and plain
Right then, right then
I feel that burnin' flame
Has a high blood pressure got a hold on me
Is this the way love's supposed to be?
[Chorus]
It's like a heat wave
And it's burnin' in my heart (It's like a heat wave)
I can't keep from cryin' (It's like a heat wave)
It's tearin' me apart
[Bridge]
Heat wave
Heat wave
[Verse 3]
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, this funny feelin' has me amazed
Don't know what to do, my head's in a haze
[Chorus]
It's like a heat wave
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (But it's alright, girl)
Hey, oh, yeah (Go ahead, girl)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Well, it's alright, girl)
Oh, yeah (Can't miss it, that's love, girl)
I feel it burnin' right here in my heart (Don't pass up this chance, it sounds like true romance)
Don't you know it's like a heat wave?
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh (Burnin',burnin', burnin', burnin', burnin', burnin')
Don't you know it's like a heat wave burnin' right here in my heart? (Burnin', burnin', burnin', burnin', burnin', burnin')
Yeah, yeah, yeah
