Lyrics:

(Eddie Holland, Lamont Dozier, Brian Holland)


Whenever I'm with him

Something inside

Starts to burning

And I'm filled with desire

Could it be the devil in me

Or is this the way love's supposed to be



It's like a heat wave

Burning in my heart

Can't keep from crying

It's tearing me apart



Whenever he calls my name

Soft, low, sweet and plain

I feel, yeah yeah

Well 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 heat wave

Burning in my heart

Can't keep from crying

It's tearing me apart



Sometimes I stare into space

Tears all over my face

I can't explain it

Don't understand it

I hadn't ever felt like this before

Now that funny feeling has me amazed

I Don't know what to do

My head's in a haze



It's like a heat wave

Burning in my heart

Can't keep from crying

It's tearing me apart



Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah oh oh (heat wave)

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

oh (heat wave)



Don't pass up this chance

This time it's true romance

Heat wave

Heat wave

Heat wave

Oooh heat wave
