Whenever I’m with him, (ooh)
Something inside (inside)
Starts to burnin’ (ooh)
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 (like a heat wave)
I can’t keep from cryin’ (like a heat wave)
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 (like a heat wave)
I can’t keep from cryin’ (like a heat wave)
It’s tearin’ me apart
(Oooh, oooooh, heat wave)
(Oooh, oooooh, 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 feelin’ has me in a maze
Don’t know what to do, my head’s in a haze
It’s like a heat wave
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ohhhhhh, yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ohhhhhh, yeah
Don’t pass up this chance
It sounds like true romance
Heat wave!
Burnin’ burnin’ burnin’
Burnin’ burnin’ burnin’
