Lyrics to heatwave by martha and the vandellas

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
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
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 that 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
(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)

(Intro)

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.)

Soft, low, sweet and plain. (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.)
I feel it right here. (Doo wah, doo wah.)
I feel that burning flame. (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.)
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.

(Saxophone solo)


Sometimes I stare in space, (Doo wah, doo wah.)
Tears all over my face. (Doo wah, doo wah.)
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.)

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 big 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.)
