(Love Is Like A) Heatwave Songtext / Lyric

(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland, Jr.)



[Originally by Martha Reeves And The Vandellas]



Whenever I'm with him

Something inside

Starts to burnin'

And I'm filled with desire



Could it be the devil in me

Or is this the way love's supposed to be



Just like a heatwave

Burning in my heart

Can't keep from cryin'

It's tearing me apart



Whenever he calls my name

So slow, sweet and plain

I feel, yeah, yeah, well I feel that burning flame






Has my blood pressure got a hold on me

Or is this the way love's supposed to be



Just like a heatwave

Burning in my heart

Can't keep from cryin'

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 'ain't never felt like this before



But that doesn't mean it has me amazed

I don't know what to do, my head's in a haze



Just like a heatwave

Burning in my heart

Can't keep from cryin'

It's tearing me apart



Don't pass up this chance

This time it's a true romance



Heatwave
