Whenever I'm with him
Something inside starts to burning
And I'm filled with desire

Could it be the devil in me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be?

It's like a heat wave
Burning in my heart
Can't keep from crying
It's tearing me apart

Whenever he calls my name
Soft, low, sweet and plain, I feel, yeah yeah
Well 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
Can't keep from crying
It's tearing me apart

Sometimes I stare into space
Tears all over my face
I can't explain it don't understand it
I hadn't ever felt like this before

Now that funny feeling has me amazed
I don't know what to do my head's in a haze

It's like a heat wave
Burning in my heart
Can't keep from crying
It's tearing me apart

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah, oh oh
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, oh

Don't pass up this chance
This time it's true romance

Heat wave
Heat wave
Heat wave
Ooh, heat wave
