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
