Heat Wave Lyrics By Martha The Vandellas

    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

    it’s like a heat wave
    burnin’ in my heart it’s like a heat wave
    i can’t keep from cryin’ it’s like a heat wave
    it’s tearin’ me apart

    whenever he calls my name
    soft low sweet and plain
    right then right then
    i feel that 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
    burnin’ in my heart it’s like a heat wave
    i can’t keep from cryin’ it’s like a heat wave
    it’s tearin’ me apart

    oohooh ooh ooh
    ooh heat wave
    oohooh ooh ooh
    ooh heat wave

    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 that funny feeling has me amazed
    don’t know what to do my head’s in a haze

    it’s like a heat wave
    yeahyeah yeahyeah but it’s all right girl
    oh go ahead girl
    yeah yeah well it’s all right girl
    oh can’t miss it that’s love girl
    i feel it burnin’ don’t pass up this chance
    right here in my heart it sounds like a true romance
    don’t you know it’s like a heat wave
    yeahyeah yeahyeah burnin’ burnin’
    oh burnin’ burnin’ burnin’
    yeah don’t you know it’s like a heat wave
    burnin’ right here burnin’ burnin’ burnin’
    in my heart burnin’ burnin’ burnin’
    yeah yeah yeahyeah burnin’ burnin’
    oh burnin’ burnin’ burnin’
