Whenever I'm with him   Something 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 heat wave, burnin' in my heart   I can't keep from cryin', 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 a 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   I can't keep from cryin', it's tearin' me apart      Ooh, ooh, heat wave   Ooh, ooh, 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, burnin' in my heart   I can't keep from crying, it's tearin' me apart      Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, oh yeah   Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, oh yeah   I feel it burnin', right here in my heart
