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 a 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

Ooh, ooh, heat wave

Ooh, ooh, 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 amazed

I don't know what to do, my head's in a haze

It's like a heat wave, burnin' in my heart

I can't keep from crying, it's tearin' me apart

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, oh yeah

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, oh yeah

I feel it burnin', right here in my heart
