Whenever I'm with him Somethin' 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 heatwave Burnin' in my heart (it's like a heatwave) I can't keep from cryin' (it's like a heatwave) It's tearin' me apart Whenever he calls my name Soft, low, sweet 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 love's supposed to be? It's like a heatwave Burnin' in my heart (it's like a heatwave) I can't keep from cryin' (it's like a heatwave) It's tearin' me apart Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Heatwave! Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh Heatwave! Sometimes I stare into 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 head's in a haze It's like a heatwave Burnin' in my heart (it's like a heatwave) I can't keep from cryin' (it's like a heatwave) It's tearin' me apart Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah (Go ahead girl) Yeah, yeah I feel it burning right here in my heart
