Paroles
[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
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
Or is this the way love's supposed to be?
[Chorus]
It's like a heat wave
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, that funny feelin' has me amazed
Don't know what to do, my head's in a haze
[Chorus]
It's like a heat wave
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
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (But it's alright, girl)
Oh, yeah (Go ahead, girl)
Yeah, yeah (Well, it's alright, girl)
Oh, yeah (Can't miss it, that's love, girl)
I feel it burnin' (Don't pass up this chance)
Right here in my heart (It sounds like true romance)
