Whenever I'm with him Something inside Starts to burnin' And I'm filled with desire Could it be the devil in me Or is this the way love's supposed to be Just like a heatwave Burning in my heart Can't keep from cryin' It's tearing me apart Whenever he calls my name So slow, sweet and plain I feel, yeah, yeah, well I feel that burning flame Has my blood pressure got a hold on me Or is this the way love's supposed to be Just like a heatwave Burning in my heart Can't keep from cryin' It's tearing me apart 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 But that doesn't mean it has me amazed I don't know what to do, my head's in a haze Just like a heatwave Burning in my heart Can't keep from cryin' It's tearing me apart Don't pass up this chance This time it's a true romance Heatwave
