Whenever I'm with him somethin' inside
Starts to burning 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
Can't keep from crying
It's tearing me apart
Whenever he calls my name soft low sweet and plain
I feel right then I feel that burnin' flame
This high blood pressure's 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 tearing me apart
Ooh heat wave
Ooh heat wave
Sometimes I stare into space tears all over my face
I can't explain it don't understand it
I ain'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
Burnin' in my heart
I can't keep from cryin'
It's tearin' me apart
Yeah yeah yeah yeah oh
Don't pass up this chance
This time it's true romance
