(E.Holland/B.Holland/L.Dozier)
Whenever I'm with him, somethin' 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, sounds slow, sweet and plain,
Right here, right there, I feel the burnin' flame.
There's a hot lookin' dresser 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.
(Instrumental)
Sometimes I stare into s***e, 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 heads in a haze
It's like a heat wave. Yea yea yea yea, oh oh oh.
Whenever I'm with him, somethin' 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, sounds slow, sweet and plain,
Right here, right there, I feel the burnin' flame.
There's a hot lookin' dresser 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.
