[Intro]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, heat wave)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, heat wave)
(It's like a heat wave)
(It's like a heat wave)

[Verse 1]
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?

[Chorus]
It's like a heat wave
Burnin' in my heart
I can't keep from cryin'
It's tearin' me apart

[Verse 2]
Whenever he calls my name
Soft, low, sweet and plain
I feel, right there
I feel that burnin' flame
Has high blood pressure got a hold on me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be?

[Chorus]
It's like a heat wave
Burnin' in my heart
I can't keep from cryin'
It's tearin' me apart

[Bridge]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, heat wave)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, heat wave)

[Verse 3]
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, this funny feelin' has me amazed
Don't know what to do, my head's in a haze

[Outro]
It's like a heat wave
Hey
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Ho, ho, ho, yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Ho, ho, ho, yeah
I feel it
Burnin', right here in my heart
It's like a heat wave
Hoo
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Ho, ho, ho, yeah
Yeah-yeah
