Whenever I'm with him something inside
Starts to burnin' and I'm filled with desire
Could it be the devil in me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be?

Just like a heatwave burning in my heart
Can't keep from cryin', it's tearing me apart
Whenever he calls my name so slow, sweet and plain
I feel, yeah, yeah, well, I feel that burning flame

Has my blood pressure got a hold on me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be?
Just like a heatwave burning in my heart
Can't keep from cryin', it's tearing 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
But that doesn't mean it has me amazed
I don't know what to do, my head's in a haze

Just like a heatwave burning in my heart
Can't keep from cryin', it's tearing me apart
Don't pass up this chance
This time it's a true romance
