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?
(Chorus)
It's like a heatwave
It's burning in my heart
I can't keep from crying
It's tearing me apart
Whenever he calls my name
So softly and plain
Right then, right there, I feel that burning flame
Has high blood pressure got a hold on me?
Or is this the way loves supposed to be?
(Chorus)
Sax Solo.................
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 this funny feeling has me amazed
Don't know what to do, my heads in a haze,
It's like a heatwave.
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Ha ohhh yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
ohhh yeah
I feel it, burning, right here in my heart,
Don't you know it's like a heatwave
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
ohhh
Don't you know it's like a heatwave?
Burning right here in my heart.
