Whenever I'm with him (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Something inside (inside) starts to burning
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
And I'm filled with desire
Could it a be a devil in me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be?

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

Whenever he calls my name (doo-wah, doo-wah-doo)
Soft, low, sweet and plain (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Right then, right there (doo-wah, doo-wah-doo)
I feel that burning flame (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Has a high blood pressure got a hold on me
Or is this the way love's supposed to be?

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

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, heat wave
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, heat wave

Sometimes I stare in space (doo-wah, doo-wah)
Tears all over my face (doo-wah, doo-wah-doo)
I can't explain it, don't understand it (doo-wah, doo-wah)
I ain't never felt like this before (doo-wah, doo-wah-doo)
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
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

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh (but it's alright, girl)
Oh, oh, oh, yeah (go ahead, girl)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (well, it's alright, girl)
Oh, yeah (ain't nothing but love, girl)
I feel it burning (don't pass up this chance)
Right here in my heart (it sounds like a new romance)
Don't you know it's like a heat wave

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (burning, burning)
Oh (burning, burning, burning)
Yeah, don't you know it's like a heat wave burning
(Burning, burning)
Right here in my heart (burning, burning, burning)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (burning, burning)
Oh, yeah (burning, burning, burning)
