Lyrics

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 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 (It sounds like a true romance) Don't you know it's like a heat wave? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Burning, burning) Oh (Burning, burning, burning) Yeah, don't you know it's like a heat wave? Burning right here (Burning, burning, burning) In my heart (Burning, burning, burning) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Burning, burning) Oh (Burning, burning, burning)
