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

(Ooooh, oooh, heat wave)
(Ooooh, oooh, 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
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
(Well, it's alright, girl)
Whoa-ho yeah
(Go ahead, girl)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
(Well, it's alright, girl)
Ho yeah
(Ain't nothin' but love, girl)
I feel it (Don't pass up this chance)
Right here in my heart
Burning (It sounds like true romance)
Don't you know it's like a heat wave
Yeah Yeah
(Burnin' burnin')
(Burnin' burnin' burnin')
(Burnin' burnin' burnin')
(Burnin' burnin' burnin')
(Burnin' burnin' burnin')(repeat and fade out)
