Lyrics Heat Wave (Love Is Like A) - Rerecorded Version - Martha Reeves

Whenever I′m with him
Something inside
Starts to burning
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
It's 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
Soft, low, sweet, and plain
Right then, right there, 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
And it's 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
Tears all over my face
I can′t explain it, don't understand it
I ain′t never felt like this before
Now this funny feeling has me amazed
Don't know what to do, my head′s in a haze

It's like a heat wave
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (But it′s all right, girl)
Oh (Go ahead, girl)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Well, it's all right, girl)
Oh (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 true 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 right here (Burning, burning, burning)
In my heart (Burning, burning, burning)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Burning, burning)
Oh (Burning, burning, burning)
