Soft, low, sweet and plain
And I'm filled with desire
It's like a heat wave, burnin' in my heart
I can't keep from crying, it's tearin' me apart
Ooh, ooh, heat wave
I can't keep from cryin', it's tearin' me apart
I can't explain it, don't understand it
I feel right there, I feel that burnin' flame
Has a high blood pressure got a hold on me
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, oh yeah
Could it be a devil in me
It's like a heat wave, burnin' in my heart
I don't know what to do, my head's in a haze
Or is this the way love's supposed to be?
Sometimes I stare in space, tears all over my face
Now that funny feelin' has me amazed
Ooh, ooh, heat wave
Whenever he calls my name
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, oh yeah
It's like a heat wave, burnin' in my heart
I ain't never felt like this before
I can't keep from cryin', it's tearin' me apart
Or is this the way love's supposed to be?
