(Love Is Like A) Heat Wave

(brian holland/lamont dozier/edward holland, jr.)

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

I can't keep from cryin'

It's tearin' me apart

Whenever he calls my name

Soft, low, sweet and plain

I feel, right there

I feel that burnin' 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

I can't keep from cryin'

It's tearin' 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

Now this funny feelin' has me amazed

I don't know what to do

My head's in a haze

It's like a heat wave

I feel it

Burnin', right here in my heart

It's like a heat wave
