Lyrics (Love Is Like a) Heat Wave [Extended Stereo Mix] - Martha Reeves & The Vandellas

Whenever I′m with him,
(Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.)
Something inside (Inside) starts to burning
(Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.)
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 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.)
Sounds low sweet and plain.
I feel it right there. (Doo wah, doo wah.)
I feel that burning flame.
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.

Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.
Oooh. Heat wave.
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.
Oooh. 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. (Well, it's alright, girl.)
Oh, oh, oh, yeah. (Go ahead, girl.)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. (Well, it′s alright, girl.)
Oh, yeah. (Can′t miss it, that's 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.)
