(Love Is Like a) Heat Wave
Lamont Dozier, Eddie Holland & Brian Holland

Whenever I'm with you
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 heatwave
Burnin' in my heart
I can't keep from cryin'
It's tearin' me apart

Whenever you call my name
So slow, sweet and plain
I feel, yeah, yeah
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 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
Don't know what to do
My head's in a haze
It's like a heatwave

Don't pass up this chance
This time it's true romance
It's like a heatwave
