Lyrics:

Whenever I'm with him, something inside (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 (It's like a heat wave)
I can't keep from cryin' (It's like a heat wave)
It's tearin' me apart

Whenever he calls my name soft, low, sweet and plain (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Right then, right then, I feel that burnin' flame (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
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
Burnin' in my heart (It's like a heat wave)
I can't keep from cryin' (It's like a heat wave)
It's tearin' me apart

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, heat wave
Ooh-ooh-ooh-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 feeling has me amazed
Don't know what to do, my head's in a haze

It's like a heat wave
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah (But it's all right, girl)
Oh, yeah (Go ahead, girl)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Well, it's all right, girl)
Oh (Ain't nothin' but love, girl)
I feel it burnin' (Don't pass up this chance)
Right here in my heart (It sounds like a true romance)
Don't you know it's like a heat wave?

Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah (Burnin', burnin')
Oh (Burnin', burnin', burnin')
Yeah, don't you know it's like a heat wave?
Burnin' right here (Burnin', burnin', burnin')
In my heart (Burnin', burnin', burnin')
Yeah- yeah, yeah-yeah (Burnin', burnin')
Oh, yeah (Burnin', burnin', burnin')
