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 heatwave burnin’ in my heart.
I can’t keep from cryin’, it’s tearin’ me apart.

Whenever he calls my name, so slow, sweet and plain.
My dear, my flame, I feel that burnin’ flame.
Has my blood pressure got a hold on me?
Or is this the way love’s supposed to be?
It’s like a heatwave 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, that funny feelin’ has me amazed,
I don’t know what to do, my head’s in a haze.
It’s like a heatwave, burnin’ in my heart.
I can’t keep from cryin’, it’s tearin’ me apart.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, girl.

Don’t pass up this chance, this time it’s a true romance.
