Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Whenever I'm with him
Something inside (Something inside)
Starts to burn deep
And I'm filled with desire
Could it be a devil in me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be?
[Verse 2]
It's like a heat wave
Burning in my heart (It's like a heat wave)
I can't keep from crying (It's like a heat wave)
It's tearing me apart
[Verse 3]
Whenever he calls my name
So closely and plain
I feel right there
I feel that burning flame
This high blood pressure got a hold on me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be?
[Verse 4]
It's like a heat wave
Burning in my heart (It's like a heat wave)
I can't keep from crying (It's like a heat wave)
It's tearing me apart
[Verse 5]
Ooh, ooh heat wave
Ooh, ooh heat wave
[Verse 6]
Sometimes I stare in space
Tears all over my face
I can't explain it
I 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
[Verse 7]
It's like a heat wave
Burning in my heart (It's like a heat wave)
I can't keep from crying (It's like a heat wave)
It's tearing me apart
[Verse 8]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Well, it's alright, girl)
Oh (Go ahead, girl)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Well, it's alright, girl)
Oh (Ain't nothing but love, girl)
I feel it burning right here in my heart (Don't pass up this chance, it sounds like a true romance)
Don't you know it's like a heart wave?
[Verse 9]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Burning, burning)
Oh yeah, don't you know it's like a heatwave? (Burning, burning)
Right here in my heart (Burning, burning)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah (Burning, burning)
[Verse 10]
I feel it burning, burning (Burning, burning)
Right here in my heart (Burning, burning)
(Burning, burning, burning, burning, burning, burning)
(Burning, burning, burning, burning, burning, burning) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Don't you know that I feel it?
(Burning, burning, burning, burning, burning, burning) Right here in my heart
(Burning, burning, burning, burning, burning, burning) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Fire, yeah, don't you know it's like a heat wave? Heat wave
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Burning, burning, burning, burning)
