Love Is Like a Heat Wave

(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.) Whenever I'm with him Something 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? It's like a heat wave Burnin' in my heart I can't keep from cryin' It's tearin' me apart Whenever he calls my name Soft, low, sweet and plain I feel, right there I feel that burnin' 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 Burnin' in my heart I can't keep from cryin' It's tearin' me apart 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 I don't know what to do My head's in a haze It's like a heat wave I feel it Burnin', right here in my heart It's like a heat wave
