Martha and the Vandellas

Whenever I'm with him
Something inside starts to burning
And I'm filled with desire
Could it be just the devil in me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be

It's like a heat wave burning in my heart
I can't keep from crying, it's tearing me apart

Whenever he calls my name
Soft, low and sweet and plain
Right then, right there
I feel the 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)

It's like a heat wave burning in my heart
I can't keep from crying, 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 never felt like this before
Now this funny feeling has me amazed
Don't know what to do
My head's in a haze
It's like a...(heat wave)

It's like a heat wave burning in my heart
I can't keep from crying, it's tearing me apart

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
I feel it burning right here in my heart
It's like a...

It's like a heat wave burning in my heart
I can't keep from crying, it's tearing me apart
