Verse 1:

                   
 Whenever I'm with him,
             
Something in-side,
                
Is still burning,
        
And I'm filled with desire.

Bridge 1:

             
 Could it be a Devil in me,
                             
Or is this the way love's sup-posed to be?

Chorus 1:

            
It's like a heatwave, burning in my heart.
I can't keep from crying; tearing me apart.

Verse 2:

                        
 Whenever he calls my name;
       
Sounds soft, sweet and plain.
                      
Right then, right then; I feel this burning pain.

Bridge 2:

                                 
Has this high blood pressure got a hold on me,
                             
Or is this the way love's sup-posed to be?

Chorus 2:

            
It's like a heatwave, burning in my heart.
I can't keep from crying; tearing me apart.

Verse 3:

                         
 Sometimes I stare in space;
          
Tears all over my face.
                               
I can't ex-plain it, don't under-stand it;
      
Ain't never felt like this before.

Bridge 3:

                          
Now this funny feeling, got me amazed;
                         
Don't know what to do; my head's in a haze.

Chorus 3:

            
It's like a heatwave.
